Comparing it with other services companies, the pay scale is competitive.There are few sub groups, but i will talk about wireless. 80% of the projects are about maintenance with good exposure and ample onsite opportunities(not all projects though). Subsidized cabs, free lunches and snacks, light atmosphere.

HSC has a lot of 10+ years experience guys doing menial tasks and hence have a top-heavy structure. Depending upon which manager you get, it can be wither a good organic learning experience or a nightmare. Personally had a bad experience with manager who was technically solid but a 10x worse people's manager. I eventually left the company because of him. Poor onsite compensation. Most of the business from one client only. The onsite peers are generally a waste of time and very arrogant. Many offshore managers, many not all, like to build dependencies and don't provide any knowledge transfer. This can be a horrifying experience as they don't give you enough briefing before they put you to work and later use that against you. This happens because a 10+ word experience guy has to appear as important even if all he does is minor bug fixes and logs analysis.
