I used to work on Capita's pension systems as my first ever job after uni. Hartlink is an absolutely dreadful system, coded in Progress 4GL.

Thankfully I have since moved on to greener pastures. Oddest thing about Capita is that they are able to recruit a lot of smart, competent young people, but then put them to work on maintaining the most awful systems.
