Pros

Good basic pay if you negotiate well, before joining the company. If you're luck holds, you'll get interesting roles and experience because they have a zero bench policy.

Cons

Very, very poor formal recognition of achievements through promotion and pay. You flog your guts out on a project, then flog your guts out playing politics to get a miserly promotion. CEO sets totally unrealistic expectations about 'Employee First' which are totally ignored in practice. Lack of genuine leadership from management. Ruthless bench policy can send you all over the world without much consideration of personal circumstances.

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.
