    Having moved onto a team in my company with Cognizant contractors, I can kinda understand Google not renewing the contract. In my experience, half of the PRs needed to be redone because of poor quality.

      Yep. Worked with them before. They coached their consultants to pass our tech interviews but had zero actual experience. One guy didn’t know how to open a rails console… On a rails app job. Accenture is just as bad.

      They’d been working on this contract for five years. And the NLRB ruled that Google was a co-employer and must sit down with the union to work out a bargaining agreement. This firing was not to do with their job skills. It was entirely retaliatory.
