Pros

work-life balance only sometime, on client project you may end up working 14-15 hrs daily with to compensation

Cons

1. be very cautious when they offer counter offer to retain you by promising retention bonus after completing one year. But after completing 1 year they will say new offer letter was not updated in system so you are not eligible for bonus. You have to fight very hard to get this amount. This happened with me and i didn't got any amount they will find some hidden clause from offer letter and will not pay you. 2. no salary hike. 3. Even if you get hike it will be delayed by 3 month from the date you get hike letter. also they will deduct your first month hike due to there junk policies. 4. All HR's treat employees as labor and talk rudely and very insulting way.

Pros

Nothing Good in this company

Cons

Management is pushy and micro manage everything. They will over commit to clients and then ask their employees to deliver everything on the same deadline Management decides to lay over resources even when the project is running and then request them to stay for more days to finish up the project Layovers in Covid times with bogus planning Cannot manage clients properly - clients keep pushing for extra work and they just accept adding burdens to their employees shoulders NON Employment Friendly company Worst decision I have ever made to join this company On notice period they will mentally torture you like anything to get deliverables out of you. They make individual contribution employees to feel helpless and if you challenge their planning then they dump all the work on you

Pros

Job security is there in HCL management is taking advantage of this they dont do any work and still there in HCL

Cons

they always try to find ways to cut your salary either by timesheet or by sapcience hours not completed or by any other reason in last 1 years (12 months), 7 months pay slips i got 50% salary only and they then return it later after a long time and we have to fight a lot employee are working hard to earn money and they deduct it like there is cut off date for salary and the date is random you gets an email near 19-23 of ecah month to fill timesheet of that day that day ia always sat or sund u dont check email and then you dont fill timesheet and they cut your salary for remaining days if your are working from home, and if manager delays approving WFH or dont do by cut off date, they cut your salary eve during Covid pandemic Sapeince hours: every day 9 hours and to do this we have to sit 12-13 hours, because if you are even internet surfing, sapeience checks you are ideal also if you are going out for 2 min sapience checks and dont count it in 9 hours... so if not 9 hours, they deduct your salary. Very bad management and very bad HR. very bad means very very very very bad HR and management. All HR are on leave whenver we call them and if it is urgent then they start shouting like unprofessional people. on LWD, they dont give relieving letter, when we call HR, they say we are on leave dont call us. 0% hike in last 5 years of mine my exp figure > my ctc figure They are opening centers in sri lanka, Australia and growing and deducting salary from emp, not giving hike, thats why ther are growing... Never join, never join and never join HCL can not be comparable to other IT service companies like infy tcs ibm HCL is not in that category, so if you have even offer from a small CMM level 3 company pl join that company not HCL 3 months notice period, no concessions even I am on bench, also I had personal emergencies
