Pros

Benefits aren't too bad bud they changed a bit in 2018 so they might not be as great as before.

Cons

Many -non competitive pay - If you have no choice, go there. If you have a choice, stay away.. far away. -many promises - very few deliveries (I can say I watched them promise the world to my employees and then fail them time and time again only to follow up with more empty promises often times to get someone to do more work than they should or were hired for and then not compensate them. HR - their HR department exists for one reason, and that is to keep them out of court; otherwise, you'll be lucky to get a response. Games - I had one employee give two weeks notice then after she was gone they deposited her pay, then pulled it back. She called my crying over it and I had no way to help. This is one of many instances. -No integrity - from what I saw, they will lie and lie to the client and move numbers around to dodge SLA's and work the numbers. Example (They intentionally omitted a team in the daily SLA report that was terrible so that the averages would be in the green and the client wouldn't dig deep enough to question. I gave them a year and then left as quickly as I could. It seemed like a good opportunity regardless of what i'd hears; however, it's worse. They don't take care of their people at all and that's not a company I would set foot in. If I can't take care of the people I'm leading, then I can't be successful and neither can they.

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.
