Pros

Contractors headstrong is place where you can end up with taking position and offer. They attract everyone by paying and numbers which is really great.

Cons

The numbers which they show its just exist on papers. Payment will not be given on time and the time you will be leaving company your payment will be gone on shelf like projects for months and when you will do follow up first no one will response for weeks and if they do they will say your hours are not right even you have worked and that's because you can't login into their oracle system to show them hours and they will do as they like. So be careful guys.... other companies like TCS, Wipro and Infosys who pay less but on time....
