Pros

Ease at work Work Life balance

Cons

No salary increment for every year For most years employees gets 0% increment irrespective how they performed Although CEO gets increment every year and for year 2026 he got 71% hike which raised his salary 154 crores while mostly employee got the 0% hike. If you working in hcl or will be joining soon, don’t expect any increment but you will definitely get the 10-50% of decreased bonus in your pay every year.

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.
