Pros

Good insurance, salary sub-par but bonus received for accepting out-sourcing and training off-shore resources was excellent. I have been employed by the company I service (as an HCL America re-branded employee) for over 10 years and enjoy the work, the people, and the overall company work environment.

Cons

Communication within the company, between users and service desk personnel, between out-sourced Americans and their managers, is, by far, the greatest obstacle to successful productivity. Our current supervisor has not spoken 10 words to us over the past 2 weeks. Normal situation for a supervisor who does not know his direct reports' job responsibilities or capabilities and refuses to interface with them to to solve the situation.

Pros

Very good health insurance package. The premium is on a higher side, but the benefits are far better than offered by any of its competitor company.

Cons

The company totally works on a offshore eccentric model. The HCL America employees are considered foreigners and there are no specific policies defined for them in their policy portal. All policies are listed based on assumption that all HCL America employees have moved from India to America. Things work here based on who you know rather than a defined process. No professionalism here at all. The HR system of the company is a pain to work with. If you are working on an employment offer with them, make sure to take all the agreed upon items in writing, as their HR do not stick to their word. It is next to impossible to schedule a personal meeting with senior management, as all of them work from offshore and do not have time to talk. In between the status meetings with senior manager and VP level people, the attendees start talking in their regional language assuming everyone belongs to Tamil Nadu.

Pros

Though it grossly depends on your project and team. I got a very nice learning experience with the company on some cutting-edge technologies. Good working enviorment, use to love coming to office, even in shifts..:) weird but true... ambiance of sec 126 SEZ was cool, best part was bigg cafeteria with 24**365 fresh and hygenic food and amazingly massive parking space... Comapny has nice onsite opportunity tooo and respect for head hunters and fire-fighters. Fairly ok appraisals too, over all a good expereience.

Cons

+somewhat poor middle management +lack of logical thinking in middlemanagement, first thing what middle management does is to surrender before their clients, even if they are not at fault, they feel respect in kneeling down...its kinda funny sometimes..
