I want to write a lot about this DevFactory / gDev FZ LLC, Dubai(https://devfactory.com), but due to time constraint, I m trying to tell maximum in a few lines.


Their intention is to save US government taxes, by routing their income from US to Dubai(a tax free zone!) And as IRS(Internal revenue services) wants a details of every penny that flows outside US by US firm, they have to legitimately show that they have hired people and paid them and that is how their Dubai firm had made a lot of profit!  And this is why they hire people on oDesk and eLance. i.e. Just to show US authority(IRS), and Not to get any genuine work done!


And while achieving this(enforced payment to show IRS), they have done a mutual benefit contract with oDesk and eLance that while achieving their goal of saving tax, they will promote this freelancing culture and their sites.


So for that, they will send invites to mostly all oDesk and eLance users, luring them with an extra ordinary payment offer(starting from 15$ per hour, 40hr/week), and lure them to apply for interview and test.


Then they will try to engage you maximum in the process using a highly unpredictable course of action(in other words, you will never informed in advance about what will happen when(exact in time), and most importantly once u gave online test and a brief skype interview, you will never know from when your contract will start. So they will try maximum to detach you from your ongoing work!


Once offered a contract, their immediate goal is to annoy/irritate/frustrate you to prompt you to terminate your contract(there are thousands way to do this, you will get to know once you get a contract). If you won't get annoyed enough to terminate your contract by yourself, they will kick you out siting a performance reason!


So, once they offered you a contract, their immediate goal will be to kick you out as soon as possible. So that they can cover maximum number of freelancers in their budget!(of Course they don't have a money plant to pay you 10$ to 30$ per hour, 40hr/week!).They need to pay in proportion of book amount/profit they want to transfer from US to Dubai!


So please don't get trapped! Don't leave your full time job looking at their luring offer! They don't want to pay you for a long time, in fact they will try to get rid of you as early as possible!


And Finally, don't ever think that they have some serious/genuine work for you to get it done! It is worst time pass in IT ever!
