Pros

No pros at all. The only thing they are giving you salary that's it. (Suggestion to the people who are joining, first Do not join second In case you want to join, make sure you are coming after client round interview, or you will end up wasting your time.

Cons

There are so Many 1. Long hours (more than 13,14 hours)(it's micromanagement) 2. No managers support 3. You can't get leave, They will ask you not to take that much 4. So many calls, for me (5 meetings a day) 5. Managers use to threathen employees, Like we are not working for hcl but for them, they are giving salary to us 6. Laptops provided Old, heat issue 7. Managers are ready to blame you 8. they ask you to do extra add on on saturdays as well 9. If you want to change hub from one to another to get the project, Managers won't allow that. 11. They will cut your variable, they won;t pay you for sure, so ask as much as you can, what ever fix salary they providing that is the only salary you are going to get, not variable or any other salary I can go on and on and on

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.
