Hi , Been stateside for a while now working with a few of the major IT groups, currently HP. Just been introduced to the idea of coming back to UK and working with the ATLAS group on DII. I've heard all sorts of grief and promises about DII but anyone know of the ATLAS work? is it a good company? what's the word on the street? Or is it one to stay well away from?

Have to come back to UK anyway so all the advice to stay away will be welcomed but sadly, not an option!

Thanks in advance!

ATLAS is a joining of HP, Fujitsu, and other companies for the delivery of DII, amongst other things. Are you thinking of coming in with HP as a permanent employee, or a contractor?

Do you have current SC or DV security clearance?

Son worked for them on DII for a bit, said it was a clusterfuck of the 1st order and left to work for a company who actually had a clue.

DII was initially a clusterfuck, because the MoD constantly moved the goal posts with regards to the final deployed solution.

Thanks smudge - the plot is looking to work for the consortium which I guess will be a bit like holding hands for HP and the rest? I have SC and a rusty DV which may need updating! The other option is to move in with HP though it will be a differentpart to the US team I'm working with

There are plenty of contractor opportunities within London, and the M3/M4 corridor depending on your skillset.

depending on where you are with HP you may end up Tupee'ing over to Boeing very shortly

CM - I've not heard that? Any more detail? PM if the info is 'weapons tight'

CM, 1st I've heard. Spill the beans. Though I doubt it's my location
