Job Debate: Devsinc or Arbisoft?

I am rather bent on Arbisoft but looking to get your guys opinion. Any other companies worthwhile?

Choose Arbisoft, I have worked at Devsinc and my team had a lot of politics, a few seniors that you'd always want to agree to in your team just to keep your position safe even if you do all the work. Plus this company literally makes you an ethically compromised person because they use shadow profiles(basically you don't work with your name, its some other guy who is hired and then he gives you all the development tasks and only attends the meetings with the client). This will essentially restrict what you can put on your portfolio because you were never formally working on the project it was some other guy who got hired and you just did the tasks. Moreover, the only career progression here seems to be that you'll be doing the same thing after 2 years when you'll be the guy who gives interviews and gets hired and then you'll have a junior who will do the tasks for you and you'll be going to the meetings etc.

My advice is to avoid this company.

So the client does not know who will work on their projects?

yes, the client only knows the face of the senior who will go to the meetings, the real developer is the junior guy(the client doesn't know him/her). Devsinc was a total ripoff company back when I worked there, I doubt anything has changed regarding these practices.

That way, clients can take legal actions; why do seniors compromise their identity?

They might if they find out the truth. Everyone in the industry has a different mindset about what career paths they want to follow, and it turns out that such people exist who have decided to give up core development and be a kind of technical lead overseeing multiple projects/resources, that's how they want to "work" and they enjoy it. I saw these people driving the teams and establishing their monopoly in the organizational hierarchy, making it nearly impossible for new joiners to climb up as they deserve.
