HCLTech reviews

Pay practices are infuriating and wrought with errors. What they pay falls short of what they will promise during interview and will be divided in to arbitrary pay categories defined by pay letters that expire. Even after letters are issued, roll out of pay letters, covering everything from annual pay raises to annual bonuses and additional pay for working outside of a standard 9-5 schedule, promise date for pay to show up in checks is missed repeatedly. The need to audit paycheck vs. hours worked is constant. Delays for pay increases/bonuses/differential pay is always at least 3-6months, no doubt with the hope that people will depart before paid what they are owed. Consequently, there is unanimous frustration and disgust across the work force. This is not a destination employer, which might be why their vacation policy is firm at 2 weeks per year, whether you are in your first year out of college or a 30yr industry veteran that has been with the company your entire career (these people don't exist). People can't wait to transition out once they have gained any experience valued by other employers.

1) If you leave within a year, they will recover all the bonus they paid you which was included in your CTC. Not any external bonus. So who ever has doubts about AMBP in hcl should take a notice that it is totally recoverable. They are taking my 200000 as i am moving out at 11 months. 2) Technical work is very less. They hired me for L3 jobs and gave me L0/L1 job. We just have to follow on emails and inform client team. Most people got comfortable in this but there is no future. 3) They will ask you to come to office weekly twice. Although every MNC is doing work from home, HCL is forcing people to come to office weekly twice. They don't care about your conditions. For them there is no corona. 4) There is no shift allowance. I am doing 24*7 which was unexpected. Monthly i am doing 15 days night shift but they are not giving a single Penny for allowance. It was not there before the pandemic too. Shifts are not clear. You can have to work on 3 different shifts in a week. Discuss all these with your HR before joining. 5) There is no compromise on Notice period. 90 days notice period for hcl which is the reason no body will hire you and you have to stay here.
