Pros

I honestly can’t think of any

Cons

Every other review has mentioned how terrible the communication is here, so I won’t get into that. You will be worked into the ground and expected to drive all around the state in routes that are economically and environmentally wasteful just to meet SLA’s that can’t be met due to paltry warehouse staff. They just installed GPSes in all the vans this year and we had to fight tooth and nail to get leadership to *not* turn on audio recording for inside the cabs. Hope you don’t incur any expenses or it will take you months and months to get your money back! Your clients (grocery chain) will be at the mercy of the bean counters as you struggle to get them parts and service in a timely manner, because when HCLTech took the contract they axed 75% of the technicians and any warehouse staff who actually knew anything. Also, as a Field Service tech you are just boots-on-the-ground so while you might know what the issue is technically, you will be setting up a lot of Teams calls to India so they can get everyone on the subcontinent involved to try and troubleshoot the issue that you’re trying to tell them it is, because you’re on site and you know better. Everyone is overworked and miserable but hey, at least Microsoft Viva lets you see a bunch of great artwork from other downtrodden employees half a globe away! There is probably a lot more I could get into here but honestly it’s been about half a year and I’ve blocked out most of my time at HCLTech since it was so traumatic. Run, —do not walk!— away from this company and your future self will thank you… take it from someone who’s been there. I would never go back in a zillion years.

Pros

It is a job that pays you money

Cons

Where do I even begin.... HCl is a company that will overwork and underpay you and never give you a raise. I was lucky to get a very competitive wage when I started that I felt like I deserved and I fought for that. However even that process they bait and switched 3 times offering higher amounts over the phone and then going back on their word and offering less and less each time until they finally sent me an offer letter. The entire company is inept at communication at any and all levels. You will never get a raise and any time you have any kind of issue or need management/HR to do anything for you results in being ignored. Additionally they will add and add to your roles and responsibilities and ask for the impossible and unreasonable. They get contracts by underbidding other MSP's and then hiring as few people on site as possible and refer the rest of the work to overseas workers that will never do any work and always kick responsibility back to you. If you ever get lucky and they are forced to actually do their job they show that they clearly have no idea what they are doing or talking about. All around a terrible company to work for. If your job role is getting outsourced to HCL, fight for a good salary up front because they will never give you a raise and try to look for another place to work as soon as you can.
