Pros

Can't find any good thing

Cons

1. Till the candidates' interviews are happening, the recruiters will be very nice and courteous, but as soon as the candidates get selected the recruiters show their true colours. 2. The recruiters do not receive any call by the candidate, no matter how important the candidate' s query is. They give only one excuse for this: we were in a meeting. They will call at their own mood and will sound very uninterested. 3. The recruiter doesn't give any information on the office address, reporting time, documents to carry, on the date of joining. When the candidate asks, the recruiter talks in an uninterested way. 4. If the candidate has to join tomorrow and he is calling the recruiter one day before to confirm, one recruiter does not answer and the other recruiter has switched-off her phone.

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.
