I have signed an NDA dealing with giving out corporate info. What I can tell is as follows.
The company itself currently works most specifically with corporate training and support. I would hope that a person could glean that much from the company's site, though.
I am a Linuxgruven employee. I know that may taint some ppls opinion of what I have to say from the start (plus, I am what, the 15th employee to post), but I'll just have to deal with it.
I was one of those people who simply did not have the experience to easily get a good-paying IT job, though I did (and do) have the drive and desire to learn, which is, IMO, the foundation of the open-source movement. I went ahead and paid the money for the course after some discussion with friends and family who would have a better idea than me as to whether this company sounded legit. The class was as extensive as one can be for only being 4 weeks long, and it, along with a month of intense study aided me in passing all four Sair tests on the first try.
I have worked here two months, and so far I am satisfied with both my pay and my working conditions.
Finally, if you don't like Linuxgruven's method of hiring, don't take the class. It is that simple. I do know, though, that when I interviewed for the position, I was told that the one contingency for me being hired at the aforementioned pay was passing the Sair exams. Since I and my co-workers are making what we were promised, I would have to conclude that I was not being lied to and that this was (and is) a great opportunity for me.
