HCLTech reviews

1. RM literally threatens to terminate even after working for 2 month 18 hours a day without week off. 2. Managers ask TL's threaten employees who joined through education program. They ask those guys to attend college in the day time and work for company in night shifts. 3. No appreciation / Not even single penny in terms of gifts or bonus. 4. They will confuse us with variable salary break up and payslips 5. Time sheet is a big mess. Every activity is accountable and need to mention what has been done for 9 hours daily. 6. You cannot enter more than 9 hours eventhough you work for 18 hours a day. 7. Work of 20 people need to be done by 5 people with in sla 8. If you go and complain for resource or any issues management will target you and they won't give release from the project also. 9. In prohibition period also notice period is 3 months. So in only 2 months around 60+ people absconded from HCL And lot more list will never end.

Company is so large, that most additional training or certifications are done within the company so you won't be able to take the certification with you when you leave. For instance, they have an internal ITIL 4 certification which I signed up for but it's not the regular ITIL certifications you'd get out in town or via a normal classroom. It's an internal HCL ITIL certification based off their own internal exam that you can pass. Also, raises and promotions take forever to get approved. They say they put in for raises and promotions, and allow you to take on the additional responsibilities while you wait, but the actual money and paperwork take a VERY long time to be approved. There are also a lot of new hire trainings which are almost worthless. They are meant to expose new hires to more of the larger HCL business as a whole, but it seems more like the executives patting themselves on the back than actually providing useful information to the new hires. Finally, I was hired during COVID so this is likely to change soon now that everyone is moving back into the office, but there isn't much of a friendly culture or any get-together's outside of work.
