Pros

Nothing Good in this company

Cons

Management is pushy and micro manage everything. They will over commit to clients and then ask their employees to deliver everything on the same deadline Management decides to lay over resources even when the project is running and then request them to stay for more days to finish up the project Layovers in Covid times with bogus planning Cannot manage clients properly - clients keep pushing for extra work and they just accept adding burdens to their employees shoulders NON Employment Friendly company Worst decision I have ever made to join this company On notice period they will mentally torture you like anything to get deliverables out of you. They make individual contribution employees to feel helpless and if you challenge their planning then they dump all the work on 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.
