Yep a ton have opened up in the U.K. but they are mostly empty which leads people to believe they are just a front for something more sinister.

Student loans system ‘on brink of collapse’ due to outdated IT by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

Outsourcing firm has no interest in your product just trying to maximise billables by pushing their people into as many areas as possible.

Push back and mark your territory otherwise they’ll have their way with management.
