Pros

Organized payroll through SAP Fieldglass although you will have to go several weeks first without pay. (system setting taking too long to process first pay.) When it works, it is great!

Cons

Few large Indian-based clients. No opportunities to change contract when there are major issues at client site. False full-time employment promises (lies, lies, lies.) Inability to secure reimbursements for paid benefits (medical/dental/vision, etc.) Challenges in securing mandatory COBRA offers. No support of in-the-field contractors and days to return emails or calls. Too many sites and silloed locations to get information from. The entire employment experience (from first communications to last ones, timesheets, job posting, payments, benefits, list of available resources, etc) should all be integrated under 1 secured intranet.

Thanks for your review, sometimes the first payroll can be three weeks out as we run a bi-weekly payroll for all our employees and after the first two weeks it takes us three days to process it. Due to which you get it in the 3rd week. All our onboarding and employee information is in a secure cloud based intranet. The COBRA letters you are referring to are sent out by ADP NOT TalentBurst. Additionally we have NO indian clients, we only work with 71 Fortune 500 US and Canadian corporations. Please feel free to call or email me brad.talwar@talentburst.com if you would like to discuss your disappointment. I/we wish you the very best with your career. Brad Talwar - CEO

Pros

They give you tips on resume, interview, and follow ups to stand out as a job candidate for any contract role they submit you for.

Cons

Perhaps they should consider offering federal holiday pay. As an hourly contract employee, whatever days we have off, we don't get paid but I'm aware that other contract companies offer holiday pay.

Pros

The team was ready to assist with onboarding and made it a smooth process once I accepted the job offer

Cons

No benefits beyond 401K (but that may be different for others depending on their contract)
