Good environment, friendly staff (at low level), good learning opportunity

Very very very bad planning, they need everything done yesterday, their motto is we pay you for your extra hours then you must work 12hrs a day.

Pros

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

Cons

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...
