...and this is...good?

I've never worked with Clarity. I've heard of them, but never used them.

My best contract and perm rates were with a consulting house funnily enough! Working for a bank would get me X amount but going through a consultancy would get me X+Y so for me they were positive - Not wipro but something similar

You will never be able to trust them. Getting paid honestly and on time will be a constant struggle.

Avoid.

If you really must do it insist on weekly billing, and paid the week after, terms. Insist on a short notice period from your side.

I've previously been contracted to a bank, with TCS (via Avance agency) and had no issues with getting paid.

This was 2018-2019, paid monthly.

They did try to get me to train their staff toward the end of the contract, but i just said it was not part of the contract and would need a separate engagement to do that.

I've been contacted by an agency for a contract role. It is inside IR35, the rate is ok (£575 a day), the end client is a bank and I'd be working via Wipro.

I've heard mixed reviews about Wipro so I'd like to know if any is currently in a similar arrangement to the one I'm describing or has a recent experience.

Judging by the few old posts on here, Wipro was a bit of a nightmare when it came to approving timesheets but again, posts are few and dated...

standard Indian outsourcer. They cannot find anyone with the relevant skills to get a visa for so they get in a specialist. You will be expected to train their staff.
Just play it professional, stick to your scope of work, provide handover but not training, and leave when project finished.

Wipro... project finished? hahahahahahaa
