There is a great comment in the article from a person who worked at Accenture...

"I finally quit after walking out of a berating meeting from a boss who reckoned I'd done a project too fast and produced an executable that was too small. "We quoted them three point two million for this. We can't give them a 500 Kb executable after a week and say it's done"

I'd be annoyed if that's all I got.

For 3.2 million, I'd hope for some good documentation, guides, and some fanfare, preferably some evidence of the QA procedure it's been through, too. You can't put ten thousand dollars+ of polish on a project in a week, can you?
