Very funny, anon

And watch the business consultants jumping ship from Axon as the lowest of low end indian outsourcers squeezes out the real consultants that make transformation happen and prepares to replace them with on- and off- shored underskilled cheap labor. Headhunters looking for skilled business consultants - suggest you start calling the Axon staff! Would be business consultant candidates - steer clear!

"Headhunters looking for skilled business consultants - suggest you start calling the Axon staff!"No need to go OTT - Axon was never exactly a hotbed of talent. The number of "skilled business consultants" there are there in the first place can be counted on one hand. More worried should be the heaps of failed contractors who thought Axon would be a nice career resting place and who are now at risk of being replaced.

"lowest of low end indian outsourcers?"Lucy, do you have any idea who you are talking about? Yes, they may not do strat consulting or investment banking! I used to work for them a long time ago and now I work at a major consultancy in the City..I have many friends who work in many of the best firms in the UK - consulting and non-consulting - Hardly any company in the UK can match the facilities offered at some of the Infosys campuses in India. I have seen grads from the US and UK, undergoing training at Infosys' facilities in India, declaring that such facilties do not exist in their countries and guess what - they are right. If you think Infosys is like a call centre, think twice and if you did not know- a few years ago they had their eyes set on Europe's very own Capgemini. Axon today, bigger firms in the future.
