The Prey
Graduate international student here in US, others who needs H1B visa, those desperate to have jobs.
The Catch
While you post your resume in monster.com or any other online resume sites, you will be surprised someone will send you an email saying they are having job opening that requires your skills, or a phone call reaches you and ask you if it is the right time to talk to you. As soon as you say "yes", an indian accent with american name will talk to you if you are looking for a job and would say " We have many jobs opening in our company in IT fields, specifically, .NET technologies, Data Warehousing, SAP or any other fields that you can see on DICE or other leading job search engine."
Then they will continue that they have projects with leading companies like AMEX, DELL, Delloite, Wells Fargo, and the list goes on. Once you gets excited they will ask you "Are you willing to be relocated in AZ." If you said yes that would be the starting point.
Then they would say they will provide shared apartment and a stipend while you will be trained on the leading technologies that they would use in the project. The conclusion is they would ask you to go through a technical interview out from the resume you posted in the web.
If you pass the interview, which you will always do because you have a masters degree in US, they will send you letter of offer. Starting salary is $50,000 for first 6 months and $60,000 for the next 6 months for a year contract. They will also process your H1B visa since you only have OPT. With this offer, you feel like biting the bait and sell yourself to hell.
The Reception
On your tie, with the business attire, an HR will receive you and stress more on the signed documents and your paper credentials. Each paper are reviewed and the employment agreement, which only have provision favorable to them, is foremost. It is on this agreement that if you leave the training after 7 days you have to pay $7,500, for 2 weeks you pay $12,000 and if you quit after the training and while on job you have to pay $20,000 + other damages. This is more expensive than any leading University in the US. There is no provision whatsoever that gives relief for you (trainee/employee) if the training wasn't good. Part of the contract is also a clause which two years thereafter your contract has been consummated, you are not allowed to join your employer, mid client, or end client.
The Bootcamp
The training as they say would last for 6-8 weeks, however, sometime it goes beyond that especially if you are not computer savvy. What they actually do during the training is to give you a CD tutorial, from Keystone, NetG, and many others, and let you go through it. When you have question nobody cares to answer it, simple because there is no expert at the development center. You would find your answers by yourself and left on your own. Most, if not all, CD needs to be run by resetting the time of your computer for they are pirated one. You would learn Oracle SQL/PLSQL , Informatica, Unix, Cognos, Business Objects in just a short period of time. While on training everyday you will receive a call from India, who would ask you about what you learn and practice you to lie on the phone. They are very rude when they ask, and usually they would ask you from syntax to the minute details of the topic. They want you to memorize everything. For me, it was a mental torture.
The Deployment
A week before you finish your training, they would ask you to write your resume that you have 3 + years of experience. They gave you sample resume and ask you to pattern what you write from what they gave you. Even with just two months of experience you would put many years of experience in your resume. They always say, anyway nobody reads and check the rest of the pages of the resume. The projects are all lies, if you don�t have company to put they would supply you company name and ask you to study what it is and study what you put on your resume. When the mid-client ask for reference, they would do it for you. The company would provide you fake reference, pick from their people. Sometimes you get accepted by the end client but after negotiation with the rate per hour, disagreement leads to cancellation of your project. They usually ask $60 per hour and pays you only $25 per hour. To be able to have this rate, they would let you apply for a senior position which commands higher rate.
At the Battle Field
Before you leave for the job, you have to sign an agreement that you would stay on the project until it�s duration, otherwise you will be pay them back for the damages it cost them. If you are terminated by the end client because of performance issue, you will be ask to pay the damages, the training fee, and you can not come back to the base company. To sum it up, you have no choice but to finish the project, and you are on your own, while they enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you wish to transfer, it would be hard for you because the will keep your visa and other immigration forms which they applied for you. This is how it works and they will tell you, �you have not choice but to work for us, otherwise you have to pay us for the training fee, $20,000 + damages.�

This is a flagrant way of manipulating the system and the people. This fraudulent activities destroyed the very essence of a moral society; freedom, integrity and honesty. How can we tolerate this kind of deception and evil deeds. Let us join hands and nail down this people!!!
