Pros

No Pros to continue working in this company.

Cons

1. Pune HCL office has only 1 Client Deutsche Bank, So if you are not selected then you are forced to relocate or Resign. 2. Managers in Pune Yerwada Office, are very egoistic and they dont care if the person is on bench or on project. They send you for Client Interview without giving enough info about the expectation from client. 3. Variable in the salary is not more than 50 %. I havent got more than 50% till now. 4. Hike is 0%. Manager told me that you are already on high package so no hike. 5. My Friend is only on Y(Yet to be confirmed or Project), since 6 months and the Manager is just sitting doing nothing. He doesnt even knew that my friend is under him.

Huge discrepancy in employee treatment.

Pros

The only decent thing is Healthcare. Nothing else to add here, except it's a pretty building. See below for full analysis.

Cons

Management has absolutely no idea how to manage people much less a business. You do not value your employees at all, not even a little bit. You harp about being present for shifts, yet you are rarely present when needed. You intimidate and threaten, you use favoritism, you discriminate against those with disabilities unless they are a favorite. The pay is barely enough to make ends meet. Micromanagement is not how you manage a group that large, I truly don't understand why you think it will work. Empower your employees to do their job, encourage them, make them feel like they matter to the business, pay them a livable wage, they're adults for god sake, many with families to feed. Bottom line, take care of your people and they will take care of the business.

Pros

Good salary, with very good package of benefits.

Cons

The new people have better salary than the people who are already working. Hard to work with Indian people, hard to grow and become a Team Leader or Manager.
