"but friends tell me you can do what are called "client interviews" where the client, in this case Boeing, has the option of interviewing the actual people who will be assigned to work on your project."
LOL! Ahem. You'll discover that they get someone competent in for the phone interview and you'll later discover that the story is now that the person you spoke to was representative - in terms of skills, experience and competence - of the sort of person who'll actually doing the work, and is not the one doing it. Later still you'll discover that this is not the case.
Still, they're very cheap, aren't they?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoIf they're in offices right across from Boeing Field, you'd think that Boeing might be able to do actual face-to-face interviews with the real (not just representative) people. You also might think that anything less is definitively a management fail.
- nonamechicken 7y agoThis is what typically happens to h1bs: if someone comes from India to work at the client location (Boeing office in this case), and if the customer is not happy with them for whatever reason, they get send back within a month or 2.
- ganeshkrishnan 7y ago"client interviews" don't happen for such massive projects. Most of the time the "host" even lacks the technical capability to interview and it's time consuming. In all my years consulting for the companies I have never been "client interviewed"
- nonamechicken 7y agoI don't like Indian IT companies because they pay us less and some managers exploit us a lot. But one thing they deeply care about is the customer. They would go to any length to keep the customer happy. There is no way they would risk loosing business playing such games.
