Worked for Barclays: Enable which is basically the banks IT infrastructure group. I was there a few times, had its good and bad points.
Good points being, long gigs, the fact that you could hide in a corner and get a good long contract out of it. Lots of opportunity to go from team to team on different contracts. I was at Radders too, so the environment was good to work in.
Bad points, contractors are usually in via their preferred agency and as such quite a static contract, not much room for ir35 negotiations. Every now and they they have a purge on contractors, something like take a 20% rate cut or leave.Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living! -
I've been at Radders too, twice...
Once on an Andersons project, the second it was Xansa (formerly "Feminists International Group").Comment
