Pros

No pros since company is extremely profiteering centered with very little care of the humans doing the work.

Cons

Has very weak handle on the concept of empathy and care of the humans working for them. Provides fraudulent wrong employment information about previous employees in order to enslave them and not let them being employed elsewhere. Instills culture of casts and slavery, very strongly. Simple trick: try to call their main number listed on Google and everywhere. Try to talk to HR or any manager. No sensible person will answer the phone. The ones that will answer the phone will not help you with anything at all. Not actually sure how this company is prepared to receive a call from a potential customer. There isn't a person that will help on the phone with that. It is clear, to be as big as HCL you need to be selling outwards - pushy sales calls. But not having a phone number where someone can call?

Pros

Flexibility, checks were on time

Cons

no communication with management, no consequences for your actions, reward for hard work is MORE work, no advancements even after being told twice it will happen within 3-6 months I waited 1 year and still nothing. No help from other techs, broken promises on raises and bonuses. Discrimanates against women, don't like to hear the truth or advice etc.

Pros

There are no pros to mention.

Cons

Listed what my salary would be to take the position and then quickly changed me to hourly several weeks later. Only wanted to then pay 1/2 hourly rate for overtime, not time and a half. Leadership unwilling to come into the office and assist team members that were short staffed. Teams that did not need additional assistance receiving extra members that had no work to do. Overall, poorly managed and tried to put senior members in positions that would make them look for other work and quit.
