Hudson Data LLC review: Refund fraud 17

I am writing in favor of Hudson Data LLC. I have been working with them and have had very good experiences with the team and the management. They help you find GOOD Projects, give your paychecks on time and they help you all the way. I think the complaints written above about this company are personal grudges or from the competitors who would want to defame this firm. I joined this company on a friend's referral and I do not regret my decision one bit! I have been associated with other firms before- who could not find me interviews, who would take away 50% of my pay on the pretext of a contract etc. All a consulting firm can do for you is train you and set you up for interviews, the rest is up to you to achieve! Finding a job depends on your caliber! Trust me guys, you will NOT be disappointed with Hudson Data.

Ive been woring with Hudson data for over 6 months. No real issues for me. I get my paychecks on time and the staff is polite and friendly. I moved to Hudson Data from another firm on a friends recommendation. Since I never took their training, I really dont have an opinion on that- but as a consulting firm, my experience with them has been positive so far.

As an employee of Hudson Data LLC and working for it for around 4 years I would like to confirm that the comments made above have no relevance and are written out of personal grudges that one could have against an individual working or an ex-employee of Hudson Data LLC. We have been in business for 8 years now and 8-10 people writing under anonymous identities only reveals one's own misdoings and getting in improper situations, there may be instances where ones not satisfied with the consequences of various situational outcomes but this does not mean that anyone and everyone starts insulting or ruining the reputation of an organization on a public platform/forum. If you have your personal grudges or think that you have been ill-treated or scammed why don't you take the legal course, you can't because somewhere inside you, you know where the mistake was.

If you are still not satisfied get in touch with me @ [protected], lets talk

If I had gone by these comments I would have had never survived in the USA after my school, these guys really helped me out with the training, and placement in real poor economic conditions. I signed in with Hudson Data in March 2009 and they were excellent, as far as I remember training was for about 3 weeks and the most important thing about the training was that it was followed up with practical assignments and then one on session with the Sr. BA that were working on projects with them. I had no IT background before I joined Hudson but today I am not earning a lot but yes the survival has been decent.

I have read the above comments and am now scared of joining with hudson data. I would really appreciate it if someone can answer my queries. I am interested in hudson primarily for their training program, not so much for job search or visa or green card. I want to know if the training is worth $500 or not. the classes start on jan 15th, 2011. also if there is a way to reduce the amount. I have just started in the business analyst field and have very little infomation in it. I basically know a little in requirement gathering. so i thinking of taking this training which i thought would be helpful as they said it goes over everything like use cases, preparing screen mock ups and so on. please if anyone knows about it and has personally gone through the training, could you please let me know if i am making the right decision by joining the training program.

Dear All

I am one of the employees with Hudson Data and I have been reviewing a lot of complaints on this thread and some seems valid and some seems totally out of context. For example a complaint by "EdwF87": that the refund for the class was not made. One request guys..if you are posting such a claim, please leave your real name and contact info on the complaint so that any senior member from Hudson can contact you directly. We do make every effort to make sure that everyone is satisfied and gets a better response, but as we all know it is very difficult to satisfy everyone, every time. I assure you that we will always make an honest attempt to address the issue.
Again, a complaint from Jack97839403...I have personally sent few emails to this gentlemen asking for details and the complaint but never got a response. These kind of complaints are generally made by our competitors as we are very few companies who offer online BA Training. Again, if you are a real person, please contact us at the email below. One line from the complaint made me curious and I quote "
Please dont join hudsondatallc, they will never get you a job"...I agree some what that we can not promise a job to everyone. But tell me one company which can? If you are joining our training, please ask for references of the students who joined before and got the job..Yes there will be few who didnt get the job but it totally depends on your caliber and effort. There is no difference in the training for those who got the job and who didn't.
A complaint from "vinod [protected]": I would really like to talk to this person, who has such animosity with "Indian Accent". Yes we do have our back office operations in India and all training related sales are done from there. But not sure whats wrong with that? Yes, he does have some valid points as "-When done with the training you still have to interview for these so called client positions"...Yes absolutely you have to go through the client interviews, but this is a very common practice. Even employees in cognizant and Infosys have to do this.does this make them a bad company?
Now regarding the Green Card issue...not sure why these complaints are but although you can file a GC immediately after joining the company, it always strengthen your case if you file it after an year or so...and thats what people were told earlier...
Again, my request..if you have a problem, please make valid comments. I have no problems a complaint being made here so that everyone is aware of it..it definitely helps...but if someone is trying to get in touch with you from Hudson, please reply and make valid comments. Hope you all understand and agree to my post. So here's our address for any escalations: hudsondata@gmail.com...Please leave a phone number to contact. I will not reply to emails without a number (Just to make sure you are not our competitor). Thanks and enjoy.

Hi All
Suken is right, this is company is simply cheating no certificate cant even file 2 H1b, i am going to complain about Rahul K Shah and Gaurav Sood to business bureau they dont have licence for the training, just false promise every month they have a training, all post in favor of Hudson is really not true.Just Beware of Rahul K Shah, they will never get you a job .

Hello people, I am Ravi from Dallas. I joined Hudson Data for the Business Analyst training program. The training sessions were pretty good and trainer was very much fair and clear. The people out there are very much open minded on their business deals. They work hard for getting you a job. They charge a security deposit for all this but gradually I got it back, when I got placed with them.Upcoming year we are planning for my H1B Visa. I did had a good experience working with them so far.

Guys I don't believe in giving explanations, I would rather go for proper evidences to prove myself.

This post is in favour of Hudson Data. Very Professional people. - I receive my salary in time (which is a big deal since my last employer was always delaying my salary) - Good Client base - Always able to find you projects - Do not take money to file transfer of visa - Do not exploit like other consulting firms (believe me whether indian or not, all the companies exploit you) - They will provide references of actual consultants working with them and you can talk to them

Training was good and Decent. The instructor went through stuff in a decent way The people in the offices who I have spoke with so far sounded very professional and had a pretty good in communicating ..

Hudsondata is a waste of time, period. Lets start from the beginning:
1. There is no job guarantee
-You go through the training, which is about average (which may be the only real thing they offer)
-When done with the training you still have to interview for these so called client positions
-Most importantly you're, encourage falsifying your resume to an outrageous level
2. They have no clients
-They may have people working at some of those companies but they are absolutely not affiliated with the companies
-As a matter of fact they actually go through other recruiters, so they are what I will consider a fourth or fifth party to the actual company
Now that you know TheTruth, this is not to say that they are a bad company, but it is always important to have the facts before making a decision about your future. Another important fact to know is that most of the positions they offer have 0% junior, entry, or apprentice type positions at any company out there. Now are companies like hudsondata the cause or the effect? You be the judge. Like I said, to me, it was a complete waste of my time. Also just as food for thought, all the positive comments about Hudsondata have numerous spelling and grammatical errors. This is because most of the people that work or what ever they might call it for the company are of Asian decent and I am willing to guarantee they are the one’s writing these comments. I have to emphasize again, every thing above is a FACT and no one can dispute that, they may try to talk around it though., , , , try to join free of cost training and tell them to cut the training fee from your salary..

I got my 5th email today from Hudsondatallc. I had already emailed them to ask to be removed from their database. I found this discussion along with many others when I googled the name of this company. I found a few problems:
1. I came across one discussion in which a man that was contacted posted his email online, in which Hudsondatallc provided their online training.
recruiters have called me so far, and all have had very heavy Indian accents. I can hardly understand them. Not that there is anything wrong with people with accents, or people from India, but isn't this an odd phenomenon?
3. All of the comments posted on here calling this company a scam is marked as "not helpful" Everything saying how great it is was helpful? I can't even believe that they aren't trying to save face by posting on here.
4. The call from a 315 area code,
5. Every email, and post on this site that speaks highly of hudsondata, use the worst gramer I ever seed.
+++Folks do what you wish, but after MUCH investigation, I would say to stay away. And I am contacting the better business bureau.

Hi all, I found this wonderful site due to this company so I guess they did some good on this planet. Many thanks to the people who actually went to the training and had to endure their scam, you have stopped me from committing into financial suicide. I hope you are all doing better after this instance.

When it comes to my experience with this company, I was contacted by them via email on a Monday night, sent them a reply along with my resume Tuesday morning at 7:34 am, received a reply and phone calls before 10 am Tuesday. E-mails, like the few positive reviews here contained numerous typos (I admit I am not a grammar god but I have the common sense to spell check it. These idiots had 5-6 typos in 4 sentences.) They told me all about the benefits and told me that I was suppose to pay $500 for the Business Analyst training which would be refundable upon completion, in addition During the phone call, it was really noisy and the gentleman was from India . I was going to do more research about them and their financial's before I stumbled into this website among a few others.

I used to sell insurance for a living, and that is a business filled with scams (not this bad tough, at the least the training cost me $300 and I know more about insurance than I ever wanted to know which is saving me a little bit of money in the short run)

This sounds really shady, It is a scam, you are better off getting involved in a pyramid scheme.
they will never get you a job atlast ..Please dont beware before joining hudsondata

Please dont join hudsondatallc, they will never get you a job

This post in favor of Hudson is really not true. I was working with Hudson, and they did not pay me many times. Normally people working with this company are from India. They always afraid their visa being cancelled and have very little knowledge about US laws. Please file complaint against this company.

Who is this person trying to remark bad about Hudson Data. People are very nice out there. I have been working there as a consultant for more than 4 years and I didn't had any issues with them.
If something is wrong with your refund policy take legal actions against them, why are you posting comments over here. People like you try to act over smart which is bad. There must some fault from your end as well, that is why you are not able to take any legal actions.
