Good and Bad are listed below. Indian company should be treated as a train station. You stay with them until you get project from American country. If you are laid off from American country, go back to Indian company for short project. After that you can move to other American comapany again. Good: 1- You can stay attached with Indian's company even if you are not in payroll. 2- With that H1 you can keep on searching job in your own way without letting them know. (For this you have some paystubs to go to other company) 3 - They also keep trying to find contract job for you. It depends on your interview. Bad: 1- You are not paid if you are not in project. If you transferred H1 to them and you have not had any project then you are trapped. You can not move to any company. You can move to onther company ONLY after working for few months through their company. 2 -They never calculate your accruel of personal leave. 3- They mostly don't cover insurance for your family if you are married
