Infosys and Tata are far worse than that.

They request power of attorney from employees, file their tax returns on their behalf and steal their tax return money. Some employees do not receive their full wage.

In paper they meet H-1B salary requirements but in practice they don't.

They are not only in violation of immigration law but labor law as well.

This is no way correct. The employees file their own returns just like any other American. And they get paid the full salary mentioned in the offer letter they received when they were deputed.

The only "violation" I know these companies do is that they make the employee sign a bond that they have to come back to India and give a 3 months notice period if they want to resign while in US. And this is not just Indian companies. I was surprised to learn recently that the Indian division of an American product company (top 1 or 2 in the world in what they do) has a 12 months notice period with around 10 lakh rupees bond. Compared to that, Indian companies are less evil.

Another thing the Indian companies do is make you work on less desirable projects or otherwise you have to go back to India. And they don't treat their employees the same way a product company in America would do. They see us more or less as "you should be grateful to us that we gave you chance to come to US".

It is correct because there are lawsuits and settlements involved. Maybe it is no longer the case but it has happened.
