Pros

None, I am not even exaggerating

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. They hate you if you are not Indian and give you dirty looks all the time. There is ZERO communication and nobody knows what they are supposed to be doing. They provide ZERO help to anyone and yell at you and treat you like your stupid if you ask. They give you no assignments or training and then yell at you for not doing work. It is truly an alternative universe to work there. I would avoid it at all costs. Everyone there says they hate their job, but need to keep it for their H1B visas. 95% of the company is H1B visas, so if you are not Indian, you will not be welcome there.

Pros

They pay their "salaried" people on time twice a month, usually on the 15th and last day of the month. I mentioned "salaried" because no matter what they tell you, you are only going to be kept on staff so long as you are billable or if they have an internal project for you and that's rare. You really are hourly no matter what level of seniority you have. If you stay billable, they are fine to work for and I would go back if they had work for me.

Cons

Overtime, when it is billable and actually paid, is paid at 1/2 time. I am not sure if they bill at full time or something greater but it is completely ridiculous for a company doing business in any country, let alone the United States, to expect people to work for half their normal pay rate when they put in extra time to keep their projects on schedule. Since they claim to be an employee-first company, this half-time pay policy seems to be out of step with their public persona but is definitely indicative of how much they truly value their employees.

Pros

Flexibility, hours, nice building, BS and more BS

Cons

HCL suckers people into contract positions with the hope of getting them to work for pennies. HCL call people to make them offers and do not respond with feed back or offer letters...basically take it or leave it if they do. Soon or later the companies that are contracting them to do there IT will catch on its just a matter of time. CROOKS - No respect for there employees
