Pros

You will have lots of work and this is part of a global organization, so you will work with people from all over the world, but mostly India.

Cons

This company has such a bad culture. Blame, blame, blame, escalate, escalate, escalate. Don't work for this company or it's parent company, HCL Technologies. You'll get thrown under the bus for sure. Often departments are understaffed, like HR and legal, so it is impossible to get things done. Seen several people in the company get stiffed on travel. Poor communication and leadership from upper management to Vice Presidents (everyone is a vice president). Don't give out your personal cell phone number. You'll get calls at 2 am on very low level issues that some guy considers a priority across the globe. Was yelled at several times by coworkers when I asked for approvals on suspect situations to cover my ass, rather than being provided the approval. You get completely disrespected by other employees here. It is the standard, not the rare occurrence. Complete lack of professionalism across the board.

Pros

nothing, really, nothing appears to be functioning in this organization from onboarding over working, billing, offboarding

Cons

I have not been paid for my work after almost 90 days now. There is no formal explanation or refusal, but they are just sitting it out it appears, pocketing the money that has been paid on my behalf by the client.
