Pros

Remote work and equal opportunities for everyone.

Cons

Overall, the company is good, but there are many issues with management and the way decisions are made. Too often, the people making those decisions seem disconnected from the people doing the work. Over the last few years, I worked very hard to keep clients satisfied. I made myself available almost 24/7 to ensure their needs were met and that everyone was happy. The last few months, however, have been a nightmare. If I simply had someone willing to listen and understand the challenges I was facing, it could have made a significant difference not only for me, but for the team as well. Unfortunately, there are many people in the company who lack the necessary skills or commitment, yet that seems to be accepted. Meanwhile, those who consistently give 100% are rarely given the opportunity to have an open conversation about their concerns. As long as you bring revenue to the company, everything seems fine. No one asks how you're doing, how you're feeling, whether everything is okay, or if there's anything they can do to support you. When you give your best every day and are still treated as if you're disposable, it's a sign that something is wrong with the company's culture. I'm not writing this review simply to complain. I'm writing it in the hope that someone perhaps you, the person reading this will understand my experience. In my opinion, this can be a good company to join, but don't expect people to genuinely care about you or respond promptly when you need support. Like many large corporations, too many people in management seem focused on protecting their own position rather than supporting the people around them.

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.
