Pros

People were generally nice; central location

Cons

Staggering level of incompetence and apathy in senior management, HR and payroll. Unwillingness to spend money on anything even when it would demonstrably save money. Low starting salary, barely above minimum wage, no pay rises, opportunities for advancement only due to high turnover. Terrible hours; no sick pay. Toxic atmosphere where literally everyone below senior management passionately hates the company. Blatant nepotism (this may have been addressed as some senior staff were investigated for favouring relatives in a tender).

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.
