Pros

Nice facilities (only if your location is Bangalore, Chennai or Noida). Good to settle down at the end of your career, whatever happens they would never fire you. Relaxed policies. Flexible timings.

Cons

No hikes at all. End of the day money matters. They even put freshers in bench for an year and ruin their career. Lot of internal politics. Appraisals and promotions only for kith and kin of managers. If you find yourself lingering around for 3+ years, time to move on.

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.
