Pros

Good probability of getting good project at client locations.

Cons

- No transparency. Queries are not being answered. There are some hidden policies . You will regret when you come to know it. HR don't tell these thing while joining. - Management and HR are not easily accessible for any concerns. - Beware before you start working at Client location. -Lack of support from HCL once you start working at client location. - No training sessions are getting planed to develop competency in employee.Less effort are getting taken to grow they employee. - Faced lot of problems to takes leaves. - At client locations, HCL management is forcing to take less leaves to fulfill 'Totals Yearly Hours budget Goal at client location' . Its Horrible ! - Employee Engagement badget is very less. No picnic,No outing plans,No bonus, No gifts,Less celebrations events. - Yearly Bonus is less. (Give 40% to 80% ) So you will face loss. - Appraisal cycle is major concern. Salary growth per year is negligible. Example, Jun to Jun cycle. You will get salary hike in November/December. -Salary hike is very very less. This year majority people got around 0% to 3 % hike which is negligible. Last year people got around 0% to 5% hike. -At client location, not feeling secure. Less support from HCL. And problems are not getting resolve even after repetitive meetings. -Lack of commitment from management. - Career growth path is not good.

Pros

It is a job that pays you money

Cons

Where do I even begin.... HCl is a company that will overwork and underpay you and never give you a raise. I was lucky to get a very competitive wage when I started that I felt like I deserved and I fought for that. However even that process they bait and switched 3 times offering higher amounts over the phone and then going back on their word and offering less and less each time until they finally sent me an offer letter. The entire company is inept at communication at any and all levels. You will never get a raise and any time you have any kind of issue or need management/HR to do anything for you results in being ignored. Additionally they will add and add to your roles and responsibilities and ask for the impossible and unreasonable. They get contracts by underbidding other MSP's and then hiring as few people on site as possible and refer the rest of the work to overseas workers that will never do any work and always kick responsibility back to you. If you ever get lucky and they are forced to actually do their job they show that they clearly have no idea what they are doing or talking about. All around a terrible company to work for. If your job role is getting outsourced to HCL, fight for a good salary up front because they will never give you a raise and try to look for another place to work as soon as you can.
