    Anyone worked for Getronics?

    I have an interview for Getronics @ Barclays in Knutsford next week for a PM gig.

    Anyone worked there / for Getronics?

    What are they like to work for if so?

        Worked at Pink in Farnborough who were taken over by Getronics. Don't know what they are like at other sites, but the Head Office in Farnborough...Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

        Incidentally, Getronics have been taken over by KPN.

              hahaah!

              well i think thats a resounding keep clear then if ever I heard one!

              seriously though.... i've had my doubts, couple of my colleagues say they are rubbish but I wanted to get a wider picture!

              deal is not really that good tbh, permie PM job.... 30k.

              but it's the only interview i've landed so far.

              so whats the score then chaps, they just badly organised, treat staff badly?

                I used to work at Barclays as a contractor.

                The Getronics guys there are all top guys. Run by muppets from all accounts, but the team themselves are sound people with good skills.

                They used to be Barclays permie people before Getronics took over.

                  If they offer IR35 unfriendly contracts, pay late and go bust, then yes I would!

                    If they go for DA enterprises as a supplier they could go from shiiiite to Briiilll overnight. Things I do for people
