Pros

Zero to share. Had a Horrific experience.

Cons

Disorganized last minute interview process. I interviewed with 3 people in the US including the and they all gave me the green light to get hired so I got the job offer and was told I'd have to wait for a background check to get processed with HR in India and after 5 weeks they say they didn’t have the budget to hire me. The next day they posted the same job title and similar description offering WAY MORE MONEY. What!? I have no criminal record and haven't even gotten as much as a parking ticket in years and my references are stellar so there's only one reason why they won't hire me. BECAUSE OF MY RACE. I have never been this discriminated against in a workplace setting and it was horrible. Please save yourself and stay away from this terrible company.

Pros

There are onsite opportunities in few projects. Campus and culture is good at HCL

Cons

Variable pay is scam in HCL, if you put down the paper they will recover the entire EPB monthly component amount paid to you,which won't be stated in the offer letter, also if there is any slight mismatch in your timesheet they will recover the EPB for the entire quarter. Just check with your HR,whether you are hired directly to a project, if not they will put you on bench and ask you to clear the Hackathons to get in to the projects. HCL jigani office location could be a constraint for few people as it is located in outskirts. You get 18 annual leave and 1 my leave, out of which 10 leaves they will forcefully ask you to apply in the last week of December as there will client shutdown. Some managers do Micrmanagement as there are tools installed in your system to monitor your activity. Work life balance depends on the project you are in. Forget about hike, if you are lucky you will get 1 or 2 percent of hike.

Pros

Pros? LOL umm.. they can pick up the phone?

Cons

Seriously, do not hire HCL for your IT needs.. Yes you will save money but I guarantee that you will lose your good employees because of HCL . You will also receive many complaints by your company employees/users.. They have no experience, lazy and don't care to learn from their mistakes . Who said that Indians are hard workers? SIKE- I have MANY years working with Indian outsourced companies.. I just don't understand why USA companies keep hiring them. KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA!!
