Pros

The office in Frisco, TX is pretty nice location. My team members were decent and knowledgeable. Short list of Pros, I know. The clients were awesome. Unfortunately, I can see this company's market share to climb as more potential clients seek to cut costs by outsourcing their IT offshore.

Cons

Bait and switch quoted payrate. No opportunity for growth. Flexible Workweek loophole allows them to underpay associates proper overtime pay. Corporate intranet is a labyrinth and is impossible to find what you are looking for in less than 30 minutes unless you stumbled across it before while looking for something else... And about 100 other things lead me to run away as fast as I could. If you are determined to sign on with them please be aware that it could take up to a month to see your first paycheck. I waited 5 weeks before I threw such a fit that they wire transferred money into my bank account.

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.
