Pros

A foot in the door of tech employment. Simple 9 to 5 with minimal complications in my role.

Cons

Extreme lowball offers (less than 17/hr), no functional HR department. Trying to get employment verification for a loan or apartment lease? Good luck. Just about everyone that works "for" HCL is coming in from a subcontactor and being contracted out to larger companies. HCL claims to have servers switches and routers, but I've never been to their site, only to the contractor sites. A middleman with minimal liability. Other contractors are reporting to me missing paychecks (sometimes as much as four months worth).

Pros

Treated employees from IBM well initially after 2018 divestiture. Steady paycheck. Supported remote work fully.

Cons

Encountered gender, caste discrimination bias, limited flexibility with work/life balance. Instead continuous effort to squeeze out maximum productivity in non-India branches, at the risk of burnout and morale. Difficult to backfill in US due to bias towards India, other geos (Europe, etc...) also impacted.
