10yHi . We appreciate you taking time out to write a detailed review.
Reviews like yours help us clarify things
clarifications:
1) your assertion is wrongly founded. smaller companies pay higher billing rate than larger fortune 500 clients. Simply because there is more supply rather than demand from larger clients and given an option everyone wants to join a larger client. So smaller companies pay more money to pull talent.
2) we are very straightforward in our contract and it is mentioned beforehand and is a passdown from the client site and we are sorry to say it is perfectly legal and enforceable and has been drafted by employment attorneys and we only enforce it for candidates who leave us before 1 year as we spent a long time training them.
3) we spend an average of 15-20 k on a candidate by the time he or she gets into a project. We have multiple trainers who provide the best training possible in java.
4) we dont take longer time because we are waiting for better rates we wait to ensure our candidates get the best clients and get into long term projects. Long term projects facilitate easier working conditions and also ensuring that we are able to file h1b for candidates who need them. We wish we got such high rates for all our candidates.
5) we offer 70 k and after 1 year we convert into percentage and we provide one of the best java training in the usa as of now . We provide nice clean guest houses, a lunch room , gift cards and a library stocked with more than $50000.00 worth of books. We administer tests and review progress of our candidates.
We pay for h1b , hire the best attorneys, help our candidates on projects if they have any issues till the time they are with us, carry insurances for clients which cost us more than 15-20 k per year, have a 401k plan, provide medical insurance or reimburse, have guest houses which have 5 people in a 2 bed 2 bath and rent is 3k.
All this without charging anything so yes in wonderland we are greedy but in the real world we have a business to run and we have to pay trainers, pay recruiters, pay sales people, pay office rent, guest house rent and also fund new batches which join us. So if the expectation from us is is to provide subpar training and resources just so that some couple of hundred dollars can be given as salary we prefer to choose otherwise .
its a win win for both the candidate and us. As the candidate would not be able to get into such clients on his own accord and only with the help of quality training can he/ she survive in the project.
We are only one amongst the few firms which dont do proxy interviews and train our candidates well so they clear their own interviews.
There are many firms which provide percentage from day one but the choice is for the intelligent candidate to get fired from a project without good training or to stay on the project with good training. Quality things are never cheap and you get what you pay for. Remember the crappy tablet or phone you bought for 90 bucks :) thinking you were getting a steal so apply the same logic here.
6) we dont have any contractor who worked less than 1 year with us.
We dont have any candidate till now who invested his /her time seriously and was not successful. If you are able to locate even one we will give you a $1000 gift card. Please mention the name on this forum and if we are not able to justify it we will provide the gift card.
If you worked for us you would not have written this review the only reason could be a employee who was let go, a candidate who had to pay 10k as he violated the clause and 3 rd a competitor of ours
Whatever may be the case we wish you the best and may you invest your time and energy in positive things and we believe in good karma so as justin t sang...what goes around comes around......Good luck :)
