Pros

Good exposure to technology. Salary on time. Yearly parties and team picnics.

Cons

When they hire you you will be told that the weekly offs depends on the client requirement. It could be either 5 or 6 days working. On the contrary none of their sites have 5 days working. Even if the client doesn't demand 5 days HCL will make you work 6 days citing client requirement. The worst part is you fill attendance for only 5 days and the 6th day goes unaccounted. There is no compensatory off provided for the 6th day you work and no additional allowances. There is no body willing to address this problem cause if there is a change for some then it would have to be done for all. This leaves all new joiners cheated. The fact is all the sites run at 70% of the capacity and then reasons are cited as staffing issues.

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.
