Pros

They only have good Brand name..

Cons

Hr's act as Managers Agents.. Appraisal policy is worst, if you r tamilian nothing to worry abt appraisal in most projects. Most of middle level managers are unfit for there position not at all number one employer.. If you get 20,000 hike, 10,000 they will only keep as a variable pay, which will be given to you based on your rating next year! Never join this company by mistake also.. Notice period is 3 months n no buyout..

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.
