Hype that doesn't meet reality - Mechanical Engineer MCS (Egypt) Employee Review

Nice people and very friendly

Not enough people on staff

same business model as similar companies: sub-contracting with a 2-year contract. goal: to get you hired as soon as possible for as high a salary/rate as possible

create a fake resume for you - have you rehearse and memorize it - the company hires someone (usually in India or Mexico) to impersonate you and start applying for jobs - create a new email in your name and a new Line-2 phone number - ask you for a voice recording so that their sales team can impersonate your voice - you have no access to this as they start applying on your behalf - occasionally they will ask you for your driver's license to submit to clients - for the references: - create fake reference callback numbers (routed back to them) - same zip-code as the reference-company - impersonate those company-managers in-order to give you good references - during interview: - use software to "listen-in" on your phone/video interview and constantly give you the correct answers to any technical questions asked - teach you "stalling" techniques to buy time - If any programming challenge comes up, they are able to take control of your keyboard/mouse in order to code for you - give you a "cheat-sheet" of answers to specific questions and instruct you to memorize these - how to lie about your current location - how to avoid questions regarding your desired rate/pay - how to avoid revealing the name of (this) company - Are you a US Citizen: "yes" - even if not - after getting hired to the contract position - you secretly receive support, i.e. you send your current work-task back to this company and they have people who give you the solutions - not just the task, but the situation at the workplace - they instruct you carefully how to keep this secret communication channel hidden (not using company devices, etc) - provide canned answers to any contract-to-hire solicitation questions - they instruct you twice specifically to never say "I don't know" - never ask client for support...
