Business Outlook

Pros

Many H1-B visa workers are available and present at this company as a significant portion of the company, as per their registration with the US Government as "H1-B Visa Dependent."

Cons

H1-B visa workers do not have a path to citizenship, the company owns the 6-year visa and sets salary at a fraction of US-citizen equivalent STEM worker. The worker has to "hope" their application to Green-card is not interrupted by the visa holder changing their mind about employment for any reason with zero legal repercussions.
