Pros

It is a kind of a start for your career! However if you are looking for place to grow then it is a must to set a target time when you have to make your move to another place - no more than a 3-6 months.

Cons

People talk in their native language (depending on region). If you you are native English speaker you will find it a bit disrespectful and very much unprofessional especially when your boss tells you that there will be a language barrier right on the very first interview. Offices Smell and environment is very dirty..not mentioning the toilets with very pool hygiene. think twice before you agree to do any form of job. Usually it is very difficult to get a fast desktop/laptop to work with in order to perform you duties within the given time of your contracted hours. Therefore almost every day you have to continue on the way back or at home to catch up with the slow internet provided by the company. Salaries are extremely low so consider it if and only if you have no other option. Company is not big though consisting of small teams of people working on individual project. Once the project is over they and in waiting for the next project to arrive you are placed on so called beach where you are paid even less the UK Employment law should allow. Yeah I know not pleasant feeling. All internal jobs are only advertised for Indian nationals with locations only in India. No local opportunities are advertised internally so you can make you career development and progress.

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.
