Pros

Sign-on and retention bonuses were excellent, although I suspect they were paid by the client that rebadged us. Work-life balance is good. Benefits, other than dental, are not bad in my location.

Cons

Doer-checker. They don't trust me to do a job that I've done for 25+ years. I have to have someone else verify every command that I type. Tools to log time, request time off are frequently broken. General consensus for rebadged US employees is our job is to train our lower cost replacements in India.

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.
