Pros
Let me start with a statement - "All what I mentioned below as Pros and Cons are truly based on my experience of being associated with this company for the past one year and might differ from other reviewers view. These are my honest findings and I'm writing these just to help future consultants like me who are looking for an opportunity to work as consultant in US. All what I've mentioned below are true and honest as per my personal judgement and I've not been paid or requested to write anything good or bad from anyone or the company."
1. Everything is very transparent and they let the senior consultants decide on their own rate. Do not force on any number on the consultant and based on your expectation, they market your profile.
2. Management is easily approachable and they try to give personal attention to the consultants.
3. They have Full-time fully benefited employment structure with full Bench pay (some consulting companies run 'dummy' payslip to keep you on status but CyberThink actually pays you the full salary what you were earning before coming out of the project).
4. They also have a percentage only payment structure as well without benefits.
5. Bunch of benefits including standard Medical, 401K, HSA, Paid vacation (Applicable only for benefited employee), assistance for certification and courses, relocation assistance and reimbursement etc.
6. MOST IMPORTANT - Very timely payment structure.. Never missed the payment date, rather if the payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, they pay couple of days ahead. In the beginning of the year itself they publish the yearly payment calendar and strictly stick to it. As I said, one might get the payment a day or two ahead but not after.
7. They have their own attorney (he is full time employee of cyberthink) and immigration law office. Hence VISA transfer or GC processing things are much faster, and transparent)
Cons
1. Marketing team needs to be more proactive and competitive. They need constant follow up and pushing from the consultant to market the profile effectively.
2. Lack of direct client (They have a few but would require more)
3. Like most other consulting companies, the insurance premium is soaring high (Employee with dependent wife would cost minimum $750-$800 per month)
4. Percentage and Payment structures could have been better. At least most of the other consulting out there in market have better percentage structure. Both benefited and non-benefited employee percentage structure should be revised to make them more employee friendly.
5. At times some of the things require quite a bit of follow up but not always. Generally management is responsive.
