  > Accenture
Most companies work with these IT sweatshops (Accenture, Cognizant, Wipro, Tata...) only once, before learning why others try to avoid them. And people who spend a very long time at these companies are at a disadvantage, unless they are looking for work at another one of these sweatshops.

And of course, the role "manager" is synonymous with paper pushing. Expensive paper pushing.

Accenture told a very big American publisher that a) we need to write unit tests (shocking!), and b) that we have too many people in technology compared to the competition.

My very subcompany is a technology company, by the way.

Imagine how much money you could be making for such consulting... The fame Accenture (and others) have for being bad places to work, at least for developers, seems to be international, by the way.

I suppose I can thank them to some extent for losing my job. And I would be shocked if Wiley dropped them.
