Pros

None. Possibly perennial work if you are in Infra tech

Cons

There are a couple of comments I would like to make here and possibly warn future employees who plan to take up Account sales roles with HCLTech especially in the MegaLT group headed by Ajay Bahl. 1. The Account Manager role while proclaimed as a Sales role is actually an administrative and micro operations role with minimal sales responsibilities. HCLTech has exceptionally poor internal processes and the Account Manager bears the brunt of resolving innumerable change requests, legal signatures, document revisions etc. The workload consumes 8-10 hours per day working with broken internal sales processes and departments 2. The Account manager is expected to wine and dine clients and surprisingly use their personal credit card to pay the bills and get it reimbursed. The claims process is dismal and frequently takes very long lead times and numerous rejections before you get your money back. They have a policy of not issuing Corporate Cards which is highly surprising. 3.Ever heard of an Organization with no leave policy ? Yes, account managers do not have a leave policy. Even a days sick leave needs a verbal or written approval from your Manager who typically is highly unreliable and upredictable. 4. Nepotism and a lack of a merit oriented performance system. HCLTech has a poor record of choosing clients and typically service the companies who were previously rejected by other IT service companies If you are looking for a sales role, I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere.

Pros

I honestly don’t see many advantages. At best, leveraging the HCL name could serve as a stepping stone for other opportunities.

Cons

My experience with this company has been extremely disappointing. The HR team is lazy and unresponsive, often failing to reply to emails or address concerns. The managers are no better, showing little to no accountability. The hiring process is a nightmare—disorganized, lacking communication, and frustrating at every step. To make matters worse, once your project ends, they leave you with no options, effectively forcing you out of the company. This lack of job security and professionalism is alarming. I wouldn’t recommend working here to anyone.

Pros

- always paid on time, though heard from colleagues I ought to be auditing my paychecks as several have found pay being withheld - they don't get in the way of me doing my work

Cons

- I'm employed by HCL but work at the client site. Have had a few conversations with my HCL managers, but they don't to anything to support me or my work. It's frustrating to know they're taking a good chunk of the money the client is paying for me when they don't offer any actual value to me as the worker. I wasn't even recruited by them. I was transitioned from another contract. - their internal website is so slow and internal systems are pretty archaic, disjointed (i.e. one internal page lists my job description and title as something quite unrelated to my actual work) - max 2 weeks vacation - instead of giving pay increases, they give bonuses every 6 months which feels a lot like having money that I've earned held hostage unless I stick around.
