Pros

Till billing comes on your name your salary on 1st of every month before sunrise.

Cons

This is Staffing company who earn through Margin and commission they get from placements. Ok..Let me tell you how this company develop the trap and ruin your time/Career for almost two years. 1 They will call you till you get onboared as interview happen through client. 2 If your salary per month will be Rs100 then Collabera get more than Rs140 each month. and they will promise you that you become permanent at client site after 6 month as it never happens and wont be because this trap developed through "Contract to hire agreements" between Collabera and client. 3 Collabera will ask you to sign different agreement and there appointment letter clearly mean they can fire you anytime for any reason but you can not leave them without giving proper notice of 3 months to 6 months at senior level respectively. 2 At Collabera payroll you won't get email ID but just a portal where you could get all your details related to salary, tax, epf and all. 3 At client site your 1st day of joining (without orientation) will happen as they call it deputation so your salary start from this day even though you have been hired and sitting idle, mostly 1month and so before deputed to client site. they would keep postponing your joining so that they can say your date of joining become your date of deputation. 4 At client site you will always feel ashamed as we Indian take pride in services as per social structure and Qualifications but you will have to report to even junior to you reason being junior is a permanent employee of client. 5 Whatever happens with you at client site, Collabera doesn't even take your call and give any damn to problem that you may have due to travel to any worst country that you haven't even heard off or other reason depends as per circumstances. 6 After 6 months it become 1 year if you are still in that wonderland then client will all of sudden tell you not to come office from next week. So you start calling and writing email through yourbpersonal email id to Collabera and inform this development then they will call you say all that bluff again that "not an issue they have enough client to place you again if not then put you on notice period" # There is no bench concept. # you will sit idle at your home # Next 3 months no salary will come. #Next 3 Month you cant join some other organization as they will make u pay for notice period. # F&F will happened in such a manner so that they could pay you just one month Salary once for all if you are in 3 Months notice period. At the end you will take legal help or as the case may be. suggestions to those who try to join. 1 Read all cons on glassdoor as all are true. 2 Only join when you have no option and ready to suffer. 3 Start looking for job as if you had not join Collabera but this guys make you to sign agreement that you can not look for other job while on there Payroll. Good Luck

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working with Collabera. The team is professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive of their employees. My employee relationship manager, Jaydeep Haryani, does an excellent job of staying connected. He regularly checks in to see how things are going, whether I have any concerns, and whether there is anything the company can do to support me better. That level of consistent communication really makes you feel valued rather than just another contractor. The pay structure is competitive and transparent, and the onboarding and placement process was smooth. Collabera also did a great job matching me with a role that aligns well with my experience and interests. I’m currently working with Molina Healthcare through Collabera, and it has been a very positive engagement overall. What I appreciate most is that the company maintains ongoing engagement even after placement, which is something many staffing firms do not do well. Overall, I’ve had a great experience and would recommend Collabera to professionals looking for good opportunities and supportive HR engagement.

Cons

None that I’ve experienced so far. My experience with Collabera has been very positive in terms of support, communication, and pay structure.
