Pros

The Job was easy. The client trusted the engineers which made it very good to manage the work. Rarely you had to do work out of office hours. Management was good.

Cons

During my first 8 months at the company I was assigned with a client but without team, so I was doing nothing. They are strict about working time, so even if I didn't have a project and without anything to do they were complaining about me not being in my seat enough hours. Raise of salary it's usually not much and it takes over 6 months after your performance review to be reflected in you paycheck.

Pros

Data Center Exposure Free lunch in cafeteria at Mesa location Can have a lot of downtime Not aggressively tracking you on everything Job is not difficult

Cons

no free lunch for other locations in valley Pay could be better Only contracted to work with the data center company, HCLTech could potentially lose the contract not directly employed by data center company. No benefits if working through an agency, only paid holidays if direct HCL. Management is a bit scattered.
