Pros

Populus Group has a fun and entertaining work environment. There are a lot of things unique to Populus Group's culture that make it a great place to work. PG has some really cool perks such as a paid stress account, flexible work schedules and tuition reimbursement. Great work ethic and willingness to show grit is an absolute must, but there is still an emphasis on a work-life balance. Populus Group definitely has a culture built on trust, at all levels of the organization. This is a great place to work if you possess certain qualities and personal characteristics. If you are not willing to go above and beyond in your role, this will not be the place for you. Candor, accountability, resourcefulness and exceptional work ethic are at the core of who PG is. You will get what you put in with this organization.

Cons

An emphasis has been put on tenure, not on skill and talent.

Thanks for taking the time to post. I think your review showcases some key things about working at PG: We really value gritty, hard working people who also know how to have fun. And also thanks for the advice--it will get passed along.

Pros

Mainly relies on H1B . Very transparent, very careful and proactive following all DOL and immigration laws.On time pay, very smooth and clear job offering process and on-boarding process. They also work on percentage basis and keeps very moderate margin.

Cons

Do not keep any H1B holders on bench even 1 single day. They revoke your H1B the day your project ends. No hierarchy define and mostly employee stuck with one or two resources for all there need. Very high attrition rate in administrative and immigration matter team. Very young people in the administrative and immigration matter team and they are very adamant and sometime unprofessional too. They never take your call if they do not want to answer something but when they ask something they want it within 5 minutes. Totally useless health insurance.
