Pros

-Decent health benefits -Never get fired once you get in (even if you deserve it) -Getting "benched" when they lose a project you where on and still get payed is a nice benefit during these rough times -Management lets you do your own thing (which sometimes is a con, but I like hands-off managers)

Cons

-Many managers have been totally green and/or don't want to be in management so they don't take care of you. -It's been a fight to get raises (but not other job opportunities, strangely enough) -Reviews take forever to be completed (had to wait 5+ months every review period to get feedback) -They don't care about the on-shore folks when work is split between US and India.

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.
