Pros

Job Security, you can do the bare minimum and still keep your job

Cons

No growth, there is no incentive for doing your job any more then the bare minimum. You can be the top member of the team and still get virtually no recognition other than a passing mention in an email almost as an after though Constantly on a timer, every thing you do is timed to the second if you are on a phone job. Your calls, your ring time, your breaks, everything. It's all tracked and shared with the rest of the team for "performance and ranking" purposes. Many projects require the agents to ask permission to use the restroom. You don't matter. Whether intentional or not, HCL makes it very clear they don't care about you. The raises are so low they're an insult and you might prefer getting no raise to the raise you do get, which feels like they found a few handfuls of change in their sofa and didn't want to bother with it so just gave it to you to shut you up. Constant lies. If you want a company that follows through on anything, keep looking. HCL will promise you the moon, then when they fail to deliver, claim the conversation never happened. If you have proof, they'll give you some other excuse that takes the blame off anyone you could speak to and onto the shoulders of someone that you're not allowed to contact. Also, this nameless entity in corporate HQ is responsible for all raises and evaluations

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.
