Pros

There were no pros in my experience.

Cons

I only experienced HCLTech from the applicant perspective. Their recruiter sought me out for a senior legal counsel position. I applied at their request. They asked for a salary expectation and when it was outside the range they refused to provide they asked if I'd "negotiate." I told them "no." They then followed up with a request for an interview saying "local HR wants to still meet with you." I arranged my schedule for the interview they chased me down to have. I joined the interview meeting early and waited nearly 15 minutes and no one joined. The HR Recruiter verified the meeting in the morning. No notice a cancelation needed to happen or anything. The whole process was unprofessional and inconsiderate. I would not recommend even applying. If they treat potential employees this way I can only imagine what it's like once you're in.

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.
