Pros

Variety of projects and opportunities to learn and hone new skills, enterprise licenses for AI products, standard benefits package with employee contribution to RRSP, remote work

Cons

Seldom requirements to work in Central European timezone, risk of being on bench, difficulty getting a raise or promotion despite having an excellent performance, a small raise could be rewarded for a stellar performance but that will never catch up with local inflation rate

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.
