Pros

Approximately nothing, just that you'll get a better initial hike.

Cons

Here are a few, 1. No annual appraisal (starts with Rs.112 to 6000 a year). 2. Managers are typically Managers, they don't give a damn about your personal life. 3. HR are so pathetic, at times I felt as if the HR was being bribed by the manager as there is almost no action on any complaints on managerial level. They are getting paid to listen and smile. 4. No career growth, you cannot even think of an option to learn something new, they want to squeeze maximum out of you with only the limited skillset, and by the time you think of getting out of hcl, you'll come to know there is so much you need to learn to keep up the pace. 5. Getting out is not easy, they'll play all kinds of tantrums and promise you the post of US President to retain you, if they feel so. Else you'll not be given time to wrap your belongings if they don't need you.

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.
