Pros

you will get cab if you work in 24*7 project.

Cons

They will give you ratings like GP, EP, or even DP, and your manager will keep assuring you until the appraisal that you’ll get a good increment. However, when the appraisal actually happens, you’ll receive your compensation letter six months after your review cycle. For example, if your review period ends in March, you’ll get your letter in December or even later. And when you finally get it, the letter will contain just one line: “Your compensation remains unchanged.” When you ask your manager about it — saying that you received a DP rating but still got no raise — they’ll act as if they have no idea what’s going on. This cycle repeats every year. So, if you joined at a salary of ₹5 LPA, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve spent at the company — your salary will stay the same. In some cases, they might even reduce your salary by adding “bonuses” like the EPB (Employee Performance Bonus) to make it look better on paper.

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.
