Pros

1. The benefits were not execrable. 2. Valuable learning experience. 3. I enjoyed the people I worked with. 4. They supported a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

HCL has a professed philosophy of EFCS (Employee First, Customer Second): keep your employees happy and they'll make the customer happy. Absurd budgeting mechanisms and rigid top-down management make it impossible to follow through on that admirable goal. There is no corporate "bench" to speak of, and managers are not allowed to make hiring and firing decisions. I was given two weeks' notice five days before my contract ended, and right in the middle of the holiday season, despite the fact that 3 teams had expressed interest in interviewing me. They implemented solutions always with an eye to increasing the customer's dependence on their services.

Pros

Only good for peoples with 2/3 years of experience who can get global onsite exposure

Cons

Typical Indian company. Too much favor ism. Promotions are based upon who you know. Very poor benefits, no growth opportunity. Onsite team will blindly follow customer policies and processes while at offshore, they will keep claiming that they have their own processes and make customer follow these. It happens because some incapable guys got promoted without the real knowledge because he / she knew a big boos or delivery uni head. And, it is spoiling the whole company No say in front of customer in my 11 years with HCL. They will say yes to whatever customer says without analyzing the impact and make their people work day and night. Work quality they get from customers for low prices is also not good, very poor. Very few technical people around, everyone wants to be a manager without learning what is needed for the job

They lie to get you in the door and then mistreat you. I was suppose to be hired but they jerked me around for 6 months where I was let go for bs reasons.
