Terrible place to work

Pros

It is some job that pays salary and provides benefits. Beyond this there is nothing positive about it.

Cons

They are equal opportunity employer (literally) - meaning no matter how well-educated you are, how much experience you have they pay you less than a new engineering college graduate. Regardless of your experience, they will make you work like a technician or low-level employee. They will make you work like a slave - overtime, weekends, without extra pay. Some of the managers are very unprofessional. One of my managers did not meet me on the day of joining and for the next 6 months when I was supposed to be working on the same project. He tried to do everything to avoid meeting me. Another supervisor shouted at me though I was much more educated and experienced than he was. They move you from project to project, place to place without any consideration for your family. They don't give much for relocation or living expenses. With the salary they give, you can't even rent a room in the garage in the areas of the country like Boston, SF Bay area, LA, etc.

Pros

None. Was lied to about how good company was when forced to move from Xerox to HCL.

Cons

Everything! Treat employees here in the US like dog crap. Bring lots of workers from India to replace Americans by lying for H1 Visas. They work 3 to 4 hours a day at most here and over in India. Screwing Xerox out of millions!!!

Pros

Good insurance Ability to go anywhere in the world if you can stand working for this company long enough

Cons

-Everything else. I worked on a contract at a company that was using a different supplier and then switched to HCL. The entire thing was a disaster. HR would call and offer us salaries that were significantly lower that what our real salaries are. When asked about it, management told us they never should have done that. What?? -Submitting a ticket for even something urgent, which happened often as the entire organization is a nightmare, takes 10+ business days. Imagine them not paying you or messing up your paycheck, which once again, happened often, and not getting back to you for 2 weeks. That is what you would be signing up for at HCL. -A team that traditionally had a pretty good retention rate (staying for 2/3 or more of their contract length) and only had to hire a few times a year, turned over almost an entire 15 person team in roughly two months. When faced with this instability, management blamed the exiting employees and did not take responsibility for the mess they created. -I could really go on for days about the negatives of this company. If you have the opportunity to work here, don't.
