Pros

Good if you want to get into FinTech. They have a lot of big FinTech clients and it would be cool to put one of their names on your resume.

Cons

2 months of mandatory "training". The training is created by mentors who are senior members of certain projects. The training consists of a curriculum of things they deem important to know for certain client projects. You will not be taught anything by your mentors, rather they just make the curriculum and have you learn your way through it via Udemy courses or self-teaching. Assessments to see your progress are weekly. The pay is non-negotiable for all employees. Everyone starts out at 60,000. In a year-end review, if you've gone "above and beyond", you will get promoted to the next band of pay which is somewhere between 70-75,000. My seniors have reported long hours. Even those in junior positions will often do mandatory overtime. Overtime is also unpaid.

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.
