Avoid at all costs

Pros

None, literally not one. Zero.

Cons

Pay to "benefits" ratio: Employees can expect to be paying more than 400 a month on health insurance, which DOES NOT COVER PERSCRITIONS BEFORE DEDUCTIBLE. HR Support: Lax at best, negligent at worst, same day contacting Site supervisors is nearly impossible Misleading: Carefully forgets to mention internet reimbursal for working from home unless asked, refuses to wave the 90 waiting period for Seattle Sick Leave.

Alert for H1Bs

Pros

No pros observed during short tenure.

Cons

Big alert for H1B folks. I am in US since last 12 years, never got an RFE or denial. Joined Populus 5 months back and started project on receipt notice since premium processing was frozen. My transfer got denied due to immigration team’s flaws and unfortunately have to leave country. Few of the worst things observed 1. Immigration team is incompetent 2. Less or no response to emails and calls 3. They work for other vendors like TEKSystems. Don’t have any coordination between them, that makes employee suffer get important information. 4. No work ethics and professionalism

Pros

For Entry level work, you can get a good amount of experience, but don’t expect it to be in HR.

Cons

Climb your way out people!
