Pros

The work environment is relatively positive and easy going, the management can be pressuring but at the same time they are aware that the senior position can be exhausting, so they rarely blame things on you. (That is my personal experience). Working there can give you a great technical base to step on, so that you can move on to better paid positions elsewhere.

Cons

Unclear responsibilities for the senior position. Many different responsibilities at once: workflow, escalations, assisting junior agents, monitoring completion of tickets, performing quality checks on juniors, participation in meetings, taking calls occasionally, performing additional tasks on the spot. Unfortunately, all of that is expected to be done swiftly and with great quality, but you never have time for all of those at once. The salaries are close to, but still below average.

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.
