Pros

Paid training, Decent salary, Per Diem during training, and Decent training.

Cons

A standard Indian IT body-shop. No transparency, last minute emails/instructions, lack of details on projects/task, lack of communication and rapport with managers or other co-workers. I've never met in person my interviewers, talent managers, or any supervisors that was in charge of me. Projects are assigned to you base on availability, not training and you aren't given any options. I was given instructions on where to meet on client site literally almost 8 PM the night before on an email. The email only said to meet at a building and when I got there, I had no access to parking or the building. None of this was mentioned in the email. No one knew who I was at the building and had to wait about 1.5 hrs in the lobby till the person in charge of me came and got me. After that I sat in an open office space for 3 weeks waiting. Not sure why they train me in .Net to put me on a project involved with data migration and transformation in Azure. This project had very little programming and was centered around cloud, basically Devops in Azure. The project had basically "no documentation for new members" - senior associate. I was given vague task that requires me to ask around(several people) for details. Slow update on my emails/calendars, wasn't getting meeting and event times for the first 3 weeks. A lot of long and tedious meetings that took up a lot of time and delay seniors from helping me. Seniors had no idea about the details of my assignment and was just given vague instructions. I have been given task that literally just had a title like " Authorization to Database" and nothing else. Some of my task were found to already be done. 3k or ~5 percent raise in the first year. I know colleagues who has been on the bench for 3+ months after training. Sometimes you had to do interviews when you're on bench for projects, basically you are working for a middle man. About half of my training colleagues quit within the first year.

Pros

The co workers were nice.

Cons

Low salary Terrible company politics Made fake promises around h1b filing but had to get exceptions and so much follow up and stuff to get it approved. Most managers dont give a s**** about your well being at all and they dont take your side when you are working with clients. If your client is miserable then your life is also miserable. The HR is also useless and incompetent for the most part. You cant even get screens and other equipments for your work. You need to go through ten rounds of some dumb approvals and what not and then even after that its not guaranteed. All the benefits I got were because I had good relations with my manager but this shouldnt be the case. Every employee should be treated equally.
