Pros

Low accountability, easy technical interview (depends on the team)

Cons

Prioritizes cheap, fast work over a quality product, dishonest with the customer, nearly nonexistent HR department, culture of sexism (in certain departments). When I gave my ONE MONTH notice I was threatened by my director (“You’re going to regret this.” “You don’t want to end on a bad note, do you?”). When I contacted HR after my manager made concerning statements regarding her mental health the response was “It does not violate our policy”. Expected to work “around the clock” over holidays due to refusal to backfill coworkers who left.

Pros

Good work from home. That’s it.

Cons

My time here was disappointing. Salary was unsatisfactory. Hard work you put in gets no recognition, but being agreeable will. HR here lacks competence. Don't expect to raise a concern because they get defensive as though you have personal issues with them. The worst part is that you can't take leave even if you're entitled to, as you have a balance. They treat you badly like as though you did a bad mistake and if you take leave and will call you even for something unimportant. They expect you to work during weekends with no compensation or extra pay. Working here feels challenging; never join this EduTech in HCL because the leadership is unstable and toxic. You don't know who your client is or what is expected, but they want things delivered quickly without giving decent time to think and gather resources. Planning is so poor that nothing ever anyone does will actually be useful, and every work that you have been breaking your head for will go into the dustbin. Employees below band 3 are treated poorly. My work as a trainer involved travel, and the hotels they book for us are very very bad. Spending a little more won't damage your company financially, especially when you boast that the owners are the richest in India. Treat employees well. Don't keep hiring retired people who contribute nothing, while those doing the hard work are worked like donkeys and have to slog for peanuts. Invest in good people, and you will automatically have good clients. Don't treat youngsters like cheap labor.

Pros

Work From Home projects still available.

Cons

They don't have projects currently. There is massive ramp down in almost every project. They are laying off people on bench by forcing them to resign and leave company in next 10 days if they don't get into a project. They are not helping to get project, and moreover there are no project, so after you clear the project interview, they say that position is dropped. And HR blames the employee that they are not working hard to find a project. When you get into some project, you will face micromanagement by managers, they will ask you details of every minute from you. Overtime work is there without any extra pay. HCL Under the covers is not an idol company . Also apart from this all, there are no increments for lower level employees.
