Pros

They have projects that look good on a resume You can usually move from one project to another when done High physical/digital security within the company

Cons

- Stereotype corporate culture; what you'd find in movies - Black-and-white "all employees must..." policies that lead to silliness like spending tens of hours on mandatory training irrelevant to my position on my own time - Inexperienced project lead (YMMV) and inexperienced offshore team - Way too many newsletters and employees can message everyone in the company, apparently - Computer security is obnoxious (can't use a thumb drive, can't transfer a document, etc.) if managed by HCL

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.
