About half of them used to work for our client and now did staff aug for them. They were unorganized, frequently were trying to negotiate interviews with us, and seemed to have an unknown chain of command. Also, staff aug work is not something i feel is widely respected in the field.
Could just be my experience but they did try to recruit me for staff aug.
