Pros

Easy interview and quick hiring.

Cons

I joined this company last year on OPT just before filing my H1B in March. Initially they said I will paid 80K. During the documentation they wrote my salary as 60K and they explained that this was as per minimum labor salary and it will be applied only when I don't have any project. I didn't argue much as it was 1st week of April i.e. H1B application time. My first paycheck I received salary as per 60K, and I was told that I will receive the remaining amount next month once they receive payment from the vendor. The next month same, I received only 60K, again with the same reason. After 2 months when complained them they told me, they have to keep at least 3 months of my salary as a buffer amount to run my payroll in case my project is over, as I am now on H1B. Even after 3 months, still I received 60K with reasons like waiting for vendor payment or bank holiday. When I left in October they had around 19K of my money which I never got and cannot do anything legally as they mentioned my salary only 60K on my H1B application. They took advantage of my H1B status and immigration to rip me off with false promises. All I would say is stay away from these people and never trust them on there word.

Pros

Their creativity to come up with reasons for not paying you the money you make.

Cons

- Worst HR & Payroll department, You'll be their cash cow and they expect you to do everything like get a job without their assistance, negotiate with vendors, follow up on payments etc. - They will file your H1-B around the basic prevailing wages, they pay you that salary on a monthly basis. The remaining amount you make will supposedly be released at their mercy. For example: If you make $80/Hour, they will pay you the salary of 65K per annum ($32.5/hr approx) and then the rest goes into this virtual stash of money ! You'll have to follow up gazillion times to get them to release money which is actually yours. Successful may be once in 100 times and that too not all money is released. If you quit, then good luck and assume your money is gone. They'll come up with all kinds of reasons like vendor payments not received, expenses not received etc. - You'll be asked to follow up with the vendors for the money they allegedly haven't paid. Not sure why they have a legal, HR, Contracts team etc. - Marketing team doesn't exist, they're like bots applying to the various positions multiple times, they'll flood the market with your resume. They hardly have good contacts with actual companies and often become an additional layer to the existing hierarchy. Sadly, there is no use of reporting this, it'll continue to happen as they have mastered the skill of finding out the loop holes in H1-B program and exploit their employees to the fullest ! Kudos to the modern day slavery !!

Pros

NONE! NOTHING! NONE! NOTHING! NONE! NOTHING! NONE! NOTHING! NONE! NOTHING!

Cons

Please do not get associated with them, the are a night mare. First of all, this company is run by a bunch of fresh graduates and immature people who have no idea about IT or Software industry. They use their brand as FORBES listed company, but infact they have no idea about what they are doing. 1. Bunch of fools run this org, and they tell yes to everything you ask them. They fake that they are a big organization and guarantee you a job plus promise they would sponsor H1 (Working Visa) Visa. I really don't know how these companies work and have no clue on what these companies actually do (adroix, codeforce360, tek&co, tekforce360 etc.) 2. They promised to provide me free in class training, free accommodation and weekly stipend. Everything is false, hopeless training (online from India), accommodation (10- people in a 2 bed apartment), and never pay your weekly expenses as they tell that they never saw me in the office. 3. Office situation: Hopeless condition! All the management come to the office at around 11-12 Am and complain that we students dont report on time. The chairs are all broken, tables are broken. It is chaotic as the rest of them play table tennis and cricket in the office or sometimes have beer. 4. After the Hopeless training, they give few resumes and ask us to change the names and template and submit to them for marketing. They lie that market is hot and they need the resumes asap. They will not spend 1 min to explain hoe the entire marketing works. 5. They lie that they have internal positions at Coke and other clients but will never get back to us regarding that. 6. They ask us to submit fake H1b copies to their Vendors and clients. Most of the clients have blacklisted them for this practice. 7. In this entire process, you will only deal with immature management and kids who just graduated. It is fishy, the CEO or any senior management is never into the picture. If you question them, they say you cannot talk to the CEO or senior management as they are very busy. So busy that they will never talk to you and never face you. Later I found out that it was all intentional as you will make them held responsible for all the fake promises and fraud activities. 8. They will always create unnecessary hype and shut our mouths by saying it is a very big brand and we are the ones who are useless. 9. I felt very bad for one of my friend who never got paid for weekly expenses. When questioned they said that he was useless wasting their time and money by not cracking the calls just to get away from not paying. 10. They give freshers contact as proxies and later if you find out they just lie on your face saying that they are better than us or else they say it is our mistake that we cant crack calls. They have answers for everything to escape from the situation. 11. Once you get job from them after faking everything, please don't be relieved as the game has just started. As there will be no point of contact for payroll and their phone number and extension and email signature never WORKS! find out by yourself by trying this. 12. The so called legal team is a nightmare, trust me they have no clue on what they are doing, they have no idea about CPT, OPT, H1B. Dont ever trust them, please take a second opinion. If there is any mistake and they are caught, the answer you get is that even we have equal share in the mistake as it is our duty also to take 2nd and 3rd opinion. Does this sound OK???? Then why the hell are they running the company and charging the consultants for H1b and Green cards??? Bunch of crooks Finally, my strong recommendation is that please do not get associated with this company. If anyone want to challenge me on this, please find out by yourself if all the above are true or not.
