It's interesting to hear both sides.

> Sidenote, the work we were doing was replaced with Accenture consultants, who couldn't handle it, screwing up so bad they ended up in court [3].

And elsewhere...

> I had the unfortunate opportunity as an Accenture consultant to work on the Hertz redesign. ... Needless to say, leadership across ALL disciplines (mobile, front-end, backend, etc) was a fucking joke and they [presumably Hertz?] didn't listen to the red flags we brought up in literal sprint 1.

My original post makes it sound like the accenture engineers dropped the ball. That was not my intention. I wasn't personally involved, had already gone on to other things. My impression, in talking to hertz people over the subsequent years, were that the engineers were fine; it was an issue of sales overpromising and resource allocation, as well as incongruities between stakeholders, but that's second and third-hand information, so take that for what it's worth.

I think they mean Accenture leadership

Could be; I only worked in one company with Accenture (and during the AC->Accenture migration), and the management in that gig was 100% "host company".
