Randstad US reviews

Randstad is so heavily metrics based, it has completely forgotten the people element of the people business Employees at VP level are promoted rapidly while managers or below wait years without promotion Ridiculously high percentage of internal turnover at every career level, due to unattainable metrics Turnover causing overwork, loss of bonus, and eventual quitting of most experienced employees Bonus structure heavily based on factors outside an employee's direct control Toxic and immature management who rule by finger-pointing, fear, and blame Micro-managed workplace breeds frustration, discontent and paranoia Zero communication or strategy from senior "management" Only company-sanctioned items may be placed on desk Extremely bureaucratic and inflexible organization

If on H1B, bench pay of only 4 weeks after assignments. You will be fired if you don't find a project by then. They do NOT do Corp to Corp. Unless you are in top notch technology, it will be very difficult for re-deployments They don't agree for a lower bill rate for re-deployments even if you agree to be paid less. So, be aware and better go for a low to medium pay and don't be greedy and face the bite during re-deployments. They never do anything beyond company policy for the sake of employee even if they have earned hefty during your first assignment. I think that type of business model is unethical. So, be aware of that before you step into. Some projects, even if you submit the resume, you never get a call because they don't have direct hiring manager relationships with all the clients. Some clients, they work only through a vendor portal of the client with no human interaction. All these are BIG problems when it comes to re-deployments. If you are so specific about location, redeployment chances are extremely thin unless you are in NY, LA etc
