Pros

Good insurance Ability to go anywhere in the world if you can stand working for this company long enough

Cons

-Everything else. I worked on a contract at a company that was using a different supplier and then switched to HCL. The entire thing was a disaster. HR would call and offer us salaries that were significantly lower that what our real salaries are. When asked about it, management told us they never should have done that. What?? -Submitting a ticket for even something urgent, which happened often as the entire organization is a nightmare, takes 10+ business days. Imagine them not paying you or messing up your paycheck, which once again, happened often, and not getting back to you for 2 weeks. That is what you would be signing up for at HCL. -A team that traditionally had a pretty good retention rate (staying for 2/3 or more of their contract length) and only had to hire a few times a year, turned over almost an entire 15 person team in roughly two months. When faced with this instability, management blamed the exiting employees and did not take responsibility for the mess they created. -I could really go on for days about the negatives of this company. If you have the opportunity to work here, don't.
