Lol. Low TC = shitty website
Preach. Low TC + India outsourcing = shitty website
Oh, I noticed this a lot of times while booking on there website 🙁
$32M for a website. Jesus fucking Christ.
who here from accenture was too busy leetcoding to properly do their job
Nobody from Accenture leetcodes. Lol
Actually I work for Accenture’s child company. But Accenture put me on a project with them. Gotta say it’s been utter trash with poorly skilled managers, and lazy coworkers. No proper code reviews, and no existing documentation. Me and one other guy have been leetcoding. Nobody in Accenture knows what leetcode even is or that competitive programming exists for that matter. If I try to pick up the pace at work, it doesn’t matter because my speed is controlled in part by my coworker’s speed. We move as fast as our lowest common denominator.
Love it! Always nice when your company makes the headlines. These are the kind of articles I tell people about when they say they've never heard of Accenture lol
Accenture usually eats the cost when projects go south. I'm really curious who made the call to fight this one in court.
That's what I was thinking Accenture is so big and politically powerful within orgs. And vendors really amazing to me it got into public sphere and heads didn't just roll internally
We're ok with enterprise integrations of large suites, but doing something from scratch... When the majority of our muscle is on India and IMOP lacking modern web-stack know-how... Curious what mix of stack they imagined this "website" being built on...? If it wasn't "SharePoint" or some shit like that surprised we thought we could handle this
Well, when you work people to death with low pay and make ridiculously short deadlines to let the client believe it can be done, this happens.
I've worked with Accenture products in the past and they suck on so many levels. Not sure how the company still exists
Can confirm. They SUCK
