Pros

This was a salary position, some others doing the same job are paid hourly so my experience with benefits may differ, but the benefits are great! They have every traditional benefit offered to a normal salaried employee. Managers were also very willing to allow staff to do additional trainings. They were also very accommodating and allowed me to work from home after I had a health issue and needed almost about a month long recovery period.

Cons

Company is so large, that most additional training or certifications are done within the company so you won't be able to take the certification with you when you leave. For instance, they have an internal ITIL 4 certification which I signed up for but it's not the regular ITIL certifications you'd get out in town or via a normal classroom. It's an internal HCL ITIL certification based off their own internal exam that you can pass. Also, raises and promotions take forever to get approved. They say they put in for raises and promotions, and allow you to take on the additional responsibilities while you wait, but the actual money and paperwork take a VERY long time to be approved. There are also a lot of new hire trainings which are almost worthless. They are meant to expose new hires to more of the larger HCL business as a whole, but it seems more like the executives patting themselves on the back than actually providing useful information to the new hires. Finally, I was hired during COVID so this is likely to change soon now that everyone is moving back into the office, but there isn't much of a friendly culture or any get-together's outside of work.

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.
