Accenture, ha, ha, ha!

They are 100% sales. Every employee, from the most junior coder and the guy who waters the plants, are out to sell you more services and more billable hours. That’s all they do. If you let them, they will take over your whole operation and suck out every dollar you have available.

In a past life, I used to be a bank auditor. When I audited a certain department, they had a new program and it was terrible .... the program and the conversion/implementation. They received an “inadequate” ... i.e internal controls were inadequate ..... managers were sometimes fired with audit reports like this and it did not reflect well on performance appraisals so this result was a BFD (to reference a Joe Biden comment). When we presented it to the person in charge (an ‘old salt’ who spent a lot of time on the golf course schmoozing the ‘big boys’ in the organization), his comment was that software vendors “always sit on the edge of the bed and tell you how good it’s going to be”. This during a conference .... I wanted to fall off my chair laughing (but couldn’t in such a serious setting). The comments about Accenture reminded me of this situation.
