I worked for a similar class of organisation in Europe. It was promoted by my university and we were cherry picked with the threat of no employment otherwise (the whole industry was screwed back then) even though the pay was shit. Most people realised what nefarious bastards they were within a couple of weeks but once you've got cash coming in, its hard to shake them off and find another job as no one wants a government tainted employee. I had to sleep in my car for 3 months as a result of quitting. They are also not the best in the field: they are the easiest to manipulate.
