www.goolti.com - Review Desi Consultancy firms in the US/India

I've embarked on another small venture. http://www.goolti.com. This one is a simple forum where people can share their experiences of working with Desi consultancy firms in the US.

There is a lot of dirtiness which goes on in the Consultancy companies run by Desi's out here in US.
1) Some don't give H1B original papers to their employees.
2) Some in the fear that the employees will leave the firm immediately make them sign a contract.
3) Some hold up some part of their salary so that they don't leave immediately.
4) Some have horrible experiences since they are on bench and their employers don't get them a contract soon.

The list can go on and on. Specifically, students who switch from their F1 visa status to H1B status are special targets to harass since they are new to the game and can be exploited.

www.goolti.com is a site where people who have gone through such good/bad experiences can voice their opinions so that other people benefit from it. Its a simple user forum where you can write a review for others to be viewed and commented on.

Please note that the users can also put up 'good' reviews about their consultants.

I hope this finally becomes a mode to force these consultancy companies to play a fair game.
