I was offered a job by a large Indian helicopter company flying Bell 412s in 2007. The offer came from their operations manager (a Brit) but when the contract came from their HRM (an Indian lady) it was totally different, with a much lower pay and none of the promised 'extras'. After getting back to the operations manager several times and still getting different offers from the HRM I realised that I was wasting my time. He wanted someone with experience and she was just looking for someone on the cheap at local rates. I certainly won't bother again. The whole process was bureaucratic as has been mentioned, frustrating and I wouldn't trust an Indian company after that experience as it's one of their largest private companies
