My information is 4 years old now, so perhaps someone else can pitch in something more up to date, but back then:
- They switched to Java
- Solutions Workforce, being engineers, were expected to already know how to program, and only got a day or two of induction (which was lame)
- Consulting got a 2-week induction (Core Analyst School) + 2 weeks of programming classes, iirc
- Back in the Andersen Consulting days, consultants did do some (generally considered dreadful) programming, but by 2003 they launched the "Solutions Workforce", which was designed to be made up of people who actually knew how to program for longer than 2 weeks
I don't know if they've since dropped the programming classes.
