Pros

Opportunities to do more advanced technical work in some areas because HCL promotes from within

Cons

They are so eager to promote from within because HCLTech pays in the bottom 1-5%ile of market rate for any skilled tech position. They are a company that consistently demonstrates they have no confidence in being able to make money *without* financially destroying their most talented people. A complete waste of time to work here for longer than 2 years under any circumstance. Exec Leadership openly lied to employees and investors on FY 2024 Q3 call regarding '10-15%' raises that never came to any high performers across several business units.

Pros

It paid the bills for me for over a year before they decided to release us and let their folks in India and the Philippines take over. Benefits were ok and they basically matched what we made with our previous employer.

Cons

Terrible management. Had broken promises and flat out lied about many things. Bonuses were late at least once. Many of us went over to them after our company, like a good neighbor, laid us off so that they could outsource their IT to HCL. They didn't want us, they just needed us to run the desk while they poorly trained their overseas folks. They didn't care about the quality of work, just that they answered the calls. In some cases, overseas reps would just either hang up or send them back through the queue for us stateside folks to handle.

Pros

they pay you salary so i guess that's a pro?

Cons

typical desi run company, always late in paying "bonus", and yearly raises (basically hoards the money they owe you as long as they can), happens every year for the last 5 years I was with the company. Honestly they need to pay back interest for not paying on time... If they ask you for something, its always last minute and always urgent needs to be done asap, if you ask for something it can takes days weeks, and sometimes months to get what you need, but that's totally acceptable. in order to get something approved must go through 18 layers and signatures. doesn't care about employees, only clients and themselves.
