Populus is not Teksystems neither they are under the same company group. They say they are sister concern of Teksystems but for H1b, you are still contracting through a vendor in between that is Teksystems. If you have a layer of third party, you will end up working multiple layers and your pay will be crap. There are no benefits in this company. Only option is to buy obamacare and you pay everything from your pocket. Their benefit is nothing but you pay everything from you pocket policy that covers nothing. There is no bench and you always have two layers that is 30% Teksystems and 20% Populus. Also, no financial institutions will hire you as they are not certified vendor when contracting with Populus as it becomes third party. Marketing is all what you do when you are on bench. There legal advisors have no idea on what they are advising. They will scare you with out any knowledge. Stay away from this company if you are looking for h1b sponsorship.
