This is fairly typical of companies that use this employer-client or employer-vendor-client (EVC) business model. In this case, the employer is Cloudwick, and the clients are "Apple, Cisco, Comcast, American Express, Bank of America, Safeway, Verizon and Visa". It is very common for employers in the EVC model to pay well below market wages, and often withhold, or ask employees to pay back some of the money under the table, making the actual wage much lower. The employees are pretty much powerless - if they refuse, they would get fired and be forced to leave the country. These employers often add fake projects or fake experience to their employees' resumes when offering them to a vendor or client. There is only one solution - a massive clampdown on third-party placements on H-1B employers, as is already done on L-1 and STEM OPT employers.
