Pros

Team members will bond over they distaste for cooperate management. Your India based managers will never be present since they are always "busy" with other things.

Cons

Continuously, missed dates when billing was required by customers, causing loss of contract. Payed employees bellow market value. Skipped over employees for bonus and promotion opportunities. Continuously, attempted to hide NDA agreement and none compete clauses in other non-related documentation without specifying that it was there (this is not legal). Attempted to encourage team leads to force employees to work through there vacation. Expected hourly employees to work extra (overtime) hours and not receive over time pay (ie. work 50hrs receive 40hrs pay), even though there contracts had overtime pay listed as a "benefit". Had multiple occurrences were benefits that were agreed upon at hire and were signed into the employees contract, were then taken away because "the employees in other countries don't have these benefits so why should you". These "benefits" that were either removed or were drastically reduced included Vacation Time, Sick time, Company bonuses, yearly performance raises, etc. The team I was one was highly regarded by our customers and was consistently profitable. However, due to the way HCL specifically runs its company both the members of my team and everyone of the customers we were supporting no longer associate or work with HCL.

Pros

Nothing good about this company

Cons

1. Management doesn't care a damn about the employees. 2. They kick employees out, with no concern on how someone who has served the company wholeheartedly, will survive without a job especially during a pandemic when it is hard to land a job. 3. Not a single penny layoff compensation. They don't bother to even talk to the employee and give any sort of counselling. Not sure if all Indian companies work the same way. At least my first experience with an India company has not been a happy one. Felt like laughing on seeing the 700Cr INR one time bonus announced by the CEO. it is a marketing gimmick. Just do the math. 700cr INR if divided equally among 150K employees, which will not be the case anyways. The people who grind it out at customer locations will get peanuts. 4. No proper planning for anything at the mid to senior level management. Just go out and sell bodies. Not sure how the top management works. Its another govt style of work. 5. Office space is crap. One needs to do only hot seating. Only a few perm seats. The depts tend not to book seats for their staff to avoid internal chargeback 6. Customers have a mindset when you say you are from HCL. Oh the indian co so should be cheap and wont deliver 7. Everything is crap abou t this co. So beware.
