Pros

Opportunities to do more advanced technical work in some areas because HCL promotes from within

Cons

They are so eager to promote from within because HCLTech pays in the bottom 1-5%ile of market rate for any skilled tech position. They are a company that consistently demonstrates they have no confidence in being able to make money *without* financially destroying their most talented people. A complete waste of time to work here for longer than 2 years under any circumstance. Exec Leadership openly lied to employees and investors on FY 2024 Q3 call regarding '10-15%' raises that never came to any high performers across several business units.

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.
