      Pros

      - If you are on OPT Status, it just helps buy you some more time to find another job. - Good stay facility during training.

      Cons

      - Its a fraud company - They make you sign a bond of $9000 - Before joining they make you sign a bond of $6000 and once you join on first day, they'll ask you to sign a $9000 bond stating that all the previous bonds have become null and void. - The management is opaque and the office environment is not at all open. - If you want to discuss the things out, they'll even go to the extent of using un-professional language. Because you don't have any option, you'll be bound to sign. - They will ask you to make your own arrangements to reach there and later you don't have any option because you need the money refunded. - The compensation they offer is not worth all the pain. - The company has not ethics. They add experience in the resume for the client interview even after telling that they won't be doing so during the interview questionnaire. - If you leave before the 1 year period, they will even threaten you about misusing your SSN number (Second hand experience)

      Pros

      For those who don't have H1B and waiting to get one, the only good thing is Marlabs can apply H1B for you. For those who has already got H1B, stay away from this company unless you have no other offers.

      Cons

      1. For those who don't have H1B and waiting to get one: Even though Marlabs said they will sponsor your H1B, but as long as your current status, for example OPT, is still valid and can be extended, they will not apply H1B for you. They will wait till your OPT can't be extended any more and then apply, and if you are unlucky in the H1B Ballot, then BANG, you have to find your own way to work legally till next year. 2. After one year on project once you switch to percentage salary (you get xx% of what client/vendor pays Marlabs), , no benefits at all! You will get no paid time off at all, even for big holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Marlabs said I quote "as long as you are not working, we will not pay you." Also, no health insurance at all, no 401k match. 3. In percentage salary mode, even though maybe your annual salary is, for example, 90k, Marlabs will still pay you a base salary like 60k bi-weekly, and the rest of it, you will get paid as bonus in quarterly. 4. You pay will be super low while you are waiting for next project, and if you switch projects within 6 month, Marlabs will not pay you travel expenses. 5. I can't really say about work load because that's depends on the your project, but if you work overtime, Marlabs will keep your overtime pay and only gives you quarterly.

      Pros

      No pros of working here. Worst management.

      Cons

      OPT students must stay away from this fraud consultancy. They fake your resume and send it to clients. They take advantage of OPT students because majority of them don't know laws in US. If you leave within 12 months then they will ask you to pay $9000. I am trying to sue them in court. They operate their fake legal team from India.
