Pros

Opportunity to travel or relocate, allows plenty of time to ramp up in to new assignments, nature of outsourced work may allow you to work at the client's facilities.

Cons

Widely spread out, your boss might be in India, and your mentor will be on the other side of the US. Managers treat you like you are someone else's "problem", and avoid your questions, then ask you why you haven't been productive. IT infrastructure is horrible, you can't download software to do your job and have to submit a special request to get anything installed. Help desk tickets for local problems travel to India and you might get a response that week, if you are lucky. This company is so dedicated to information security that they sacrifice employee productivity.

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.
