Oh yeah, I have my shortest stint in one of those company.

It was rumored that the company I was working had taken poison pill last time by having the ratio of benched workers and assigned workers to 50%:50%.

Their presence in our country was small, but they have multiple office campuses in India. One campus even have a separate building that if you walk to that building to work, people know you are benched.

Compared to other company that I worked, one of their value proposition is to have resources readily available if you want to start a project today, apart from having a dirt cheap offer. So yeah, benching a lot doesn't come as a surprise to me about those companies.

These companies hire a lot of graduates from all over the country at a merge rate and these newly recruited employees are then benched. They will sometime hire a couple of thousands of new grads from a particular school.
