Pros

Work From Home projects still available.

Cons

They don't have projects currently. There is massive ramp down in almost every project. They are laying off people on bench by forcing them to resign and leave company in next 10 days if they don't get into a project. They are not helping to get project, and moreover there are no project, so after you clear the project interview, they say that position is dropped. And HR blames the employee that they are not working hard to find a project. When you get into some project, you will face micromanagement by managers, they will ask you details of every minute from you. Overtime work is there without any extra pay. HCL Under the covers is not an idol company . Also apart from this all, there are no increments for lower level employees.

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.
