I am a mechanical engineer. worked under this company for more than 5 years. No Benefits, No Health insurance, once you lost a job they do not even care about finding you another job. They will lie you about doing green card, once the time has come to file and unfortunately you lost a job, they will not care find a job because they have to spend money for GC process. The management do not even care about the employees.
All they do is take money from your paycheck and do parties. They are doing absolutely illegal business activity. I will give a "0" star to them frankly. they cheated me like any thing. They are idiots.
