Good but slow to learn as a whole

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company overall, has a U.S. Presence but lacks a TRUE U.S. Presence, too much of the company is based out of India. More U.S presence where HCL can be run on its own by U.S employees, and better compensation of it employees will bring greater retention rates and make HCL a true competitor. An international company cannot make a real presence without letting other nations who understand the business within their own culture run the company.

Cons

Needs a real U.S presence, cannot run an international business without letting each nation have control. Add more than 1 HR rep for 3 different buildings.

Too secure, too distributed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to travel or relocate, allows plenty of time to ramp up in to new assignments, nature of outsourced work may allow you to work at the client's facilities.

Cons

Widely spread out, your boss might be in India, and your mentor will be on the other side of the US. Managers treat you like you are someone else's "problem", and avoid your questions, then ask you why you haven't been productive. IT infrastructure is horrible, you can't download software to do your job and have to submit a special request to get anything installed. Help desk tickets for local problems travel to India and you might get a response that week, if you are lucky. This company is so dedicated to information security that they sacrifice employee productivity.

HCL - Worst Employer

Lead consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Many onsite opportunities .

Cons

- Employee UN-friendly policies. Don't even approve Airport to Hotel bills. Say they have covered it one time relocation allowance which is $400 (taxable, after taxes you get around $ 275). Don't approve any bills for first few days in hotel stay. - Support staff departments (ISG, EHS) are lethargic. Big hassle to get any work done from them. They think they are doing any favor to resource if they are processing any VISA application or approving any bills. - Worst pay master while sending employees from India to onsite assignments.
