Pros

nothing worth talking about. good campus. decent cafeteria.

Cons

recently, they have made the notice period 3 months to control attrition. this makes it very difficult to switch over since no company is willing to wait 3 months for an employee to join. so you will be stuck with hcl at low salary and find it very difficult to switch jobs. they dont reduce notice period even for people on bench or those not on project or non billable. 3 month notice period beware! dont join if you want career growth and increment. also, the increment they give is max 5% and that too only for a few chosen ones. there is no increment worth talking about.

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.
