Pros

- Some colleagues are supportive and try to help each other during the transition. - The technical teams are generally competent and willing to share knowledge.

Cons

- HR townhall sessions are poorly managed. The session led by HR (Blanca Grace Villa) started 10-15 minutes late, with all chat, comment, and audio features disabled, making it impossible for employees to participate or raise concerns. - The session consisted only of reading slides, with no opportunity for real-time interaction. When employees tried to raise hands via Teams, the session was abruptly ended without addressing any questions. - Employees were instructed to direct questions to their reporting managers, but these managers are unresponsive, leading to a sense of being ignored and "ghosted." - There is a clear lack of transparency and open communication. Many employees feel mistreated since Day 1 of the transition, especially those rebadged from Verizon. - The company expects cooperation and knowledge transfer from rebadged employees, yet fails to provide basic respect and support, resulting in frustration and low morale. - Many promises made at the start of the transition have not been fulfilled, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and negative sentiment among staff.

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.
