HCLTech reviews

-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.

• Preferential treatment towards offshore/India-based and/or Indian nationals • Locals / US Nationals continually unsupported or flat-out denied opportunities to transfer to new projects, or consideration for growth/promotional opportunities • Personal relationships prioritized over competency when growth/promotional opportunities arise • Compensation not aligned with role/responsibilities, approximately 30% or more below market • Inadequate benefits (ie. no sick pay, vacation hours are accrued for salary positions, and STILL lacking) • Collaboration between onshore (US) and offshore inadequate and ineffective, leading to duplication of efforts, inconsistency, no level-set, disregard for role/responsibilities and chain of command • No accountability of offshore employees (multiple reminders to complete a task is the norm, and you must keep current tally at all times for escalation to management) • Management consistently unresponsive to escalations (see above) • Continual lack of adherence to client agreed-upon policy/procedures by offshore staff, leading to continual compliance challenges, compromise in service to client and end-users, erode trust and respect that otherwise should exist in relationship with client
