There are both kind. But to work as regular employee the compnay need to hire you .. Most of the people work through top 5 consulting companies like Deloitte, HP, IBM, Bearing Point many big companies donot consider other consulting companies, Indian ones (barring Wipro, Infosys). All the other Indian consulting companies are just brokers or middle man. If you have to go through them it will take a substantial time to get a job. But if you are a fresher most of the time it is the only way to go as for SAP the minimum experience you need to ahve is 2 years to get into all those big 5 companies, also the main clause of jobs is travel time =90-100%. So if you ahve a family and you are married it is a tough decision.
