Pros

I've worked for HCL America for a little over a year and have been very happy with them as an employer. They do an excellent job of keeping employees informed about what is going on at the company. They are also very straight forward and honestly dedicated to doing good work for their customers. The benefits are very good.

Cons

There is always a lack of job security when you are a contractor. This kind of company and career is not for everyone. Some also have trouble working for an outsourcing company. It can also be difficult to do this kind of work if you like being part of a team. You connection to the larger HCL may only be through e-mails and newsletters, and you may not feel connected to the team at the company work site.

Pros

It is a job that pays you money

Cons

Where do I even begin.... HCl is a company that will overwork and underpay you and never give you a raise. I was lucky to get a very competitive wage when I started that I felt like I deserved and I fought for that. However even that process they bait and switched 3 times offering higher amounts over the phone and then going back on their word and offering less and less each time until they finally sent me an offer letter. The entire company is inept at communication at any and all levels. You will never get a raise and any time you have any kind of issue or need management/HR to do anything for you results in being ignored. Additionally they will add and add to your roles and responsibilities and ask for the impossible and unreasonable. They get contracts by underbidding other MSP's and then hiring as few people on site as possible and refer the rest of the work to overseas workers that will never do any work and always kick responsibility back to you. If you ever get lucky and they are forced to actually do their job they show that they clearly have no idea what they are doing or talking about. All around a terrible company to work for. If your job role is getting outsourced to HCL, fight for a good salary up front because they will never give you a raise and try to look for another place to work as soon as you can.
