Hurts to see this, but it's the sad truth unfortunately.

I'm a guy who worked for one of these outsourcing behemots based in Cluj-Napoca named SoftVision. While on the surface everything looks great, you should know that life inside this company is pretty miserable. And this will affect you as a client because just as we are being constantly lied to destroying our motivation, you as a client will be also lied to: starting with being offered fabricated resumes and all the way through false information about the number of people allocated to a certain project (there are people who work with their name only on a several projects) and the number of hours worked.

If you're curious about more hit up SoftVision on Glassdoor but change to a date based sorting, because their default sorting seems to favour glowing reviews written by the PR department.

I'm not saying all outsourcing companies are like this and I'm most definitely not saying that you can't find skilled devs in Cluj-Napoca. Just try to avoid SoftVision and their web of lies.

You're pretty much describing most body shops that call themselves agencies.

Yeah, I've been hearing bad things about SoftVision from friends working there as well. So I wouldn't generalize, it just seems this particular company is worth avoiding.
