Pros

The pay was good and the job was at a nice company.

Cons

It was a contracting job with a very big client. Unfortunately there was no one there to make sure the supervisor was fair and no corrupt. There fired many people every week which should have been a red flag that something needed to be investigated. I was apart of that unlucky majority. If you were not liked for any reason that had nothing to do with your work performance they would make up something and say it was your work performance and then fire you. There was no one to talk to, the hiring agency is CDI, and they acted like their hands were tied and just tell you that the client chose not to specifically say why. It is a very sad thing in this day and age that people can cause you to lose your job just because they don't like you. The client have about 4 people that are really corrupt. HCL did nothing to investigate or find out any further. I was there for 8 months, I missed 2 days-- which was the lowest of anyone there and not even one eyebrow was raised at the sudden firing? The stress that everyone was under because of the constant firing was too much. I heard that it is better now because the supervisor of HCL has changed so that may be a good thing because I saw her a side of her that was very ugly and unprofessional.

Pros

Good stepping stone for recent college grads who need experience

Cons

pay is WAY lower than industry average. They focus more on delivering product over quality. This is because they are one of the lowest bidders for Microsoft. My PM let the Microsoft managers run all over the team. Had the swim or drown mentality

Pros

When a contract ends, the company will make some effort to place employees in a new position.

Cons

Management doesn't listen; suggestions for training or improved processes are ignored or dismissed out of hand. Some managers claim ownership of employee-suggested improvements.
