Pros

The immigration team is good for candidates on h1b. Any paperwork or document needed, they provide full support

Cons

In case your project is over and you do not find another one immediately, they will withdraw your h1b and leave you out of status. They do not do any kind of marketing. Also tek systems say that this is their sister company and you will be full time etc etc. but this is a preferred vendor to tek systems like any other vendor. Overall not recommended for candidates on H1b.

Pros

Not a single pros about this company. Stay away from it

Cons

Populus is not Teksystems neither they are under the same company group. They say they are sister concern of Teksystems but for H1b, you are still contracting through a vendor in between that is Teksystems. If you have a layer of third party, you will end up working multiple layers and your pay will be crap. There are no benefits in this company. Only option is to buy obamacare and you pay everything from your pocket. Their benefit is nothing but you pay everything from you pocket policy that covers nothing. There is no bench and you always have two layers that is 30% Teksystems and 20% Populus. Also, no financial institutions will hire you as they are not certified vendor when contracting with Populus as it becomes third party. Marketing is all what you do when you are on bench. There legal advisors have no idea on what they are advising. They will scare you with out any knowledge. Stay away from this company if you are looking for h1b sponsorship.

Populus is a cult

Pros

They give you money and a job

Cons

This company is a cult at it's core. From they way they make you act, the books they make you read and the culture (Also keep in mind they literally make you drink "the Kool-Aid". They leave their problems up to you and all have the mindset that your problems are yours and yours alone. Please, go look for another location and don't accept anything from the Populus Group.
