Pros

Brand name Exposure to big projects. We cover one area In SD in depth.

Cons

In the HR round they said there is a15 month bond and the penalty for breaking it is 1.25 lakhs. Also I would have to agree to travel anywhere in India and work in any shift. They aren't okay with verbal agreements and they ask freshers to sign a bond with the above terms and conditions. One of my colleagues from a previous organization joined as a lateral and when he left in two months, he was made to pay 19000.

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.
