Pros

Very good health insurance package. The premium is on a higher side, but the benefits are far better than offered by any of its competitor company.

Cons

The company totally works on a offshore eccentric model. The HCL America employees are considered foreigners and there are no specific policies defined for them in their policy portal. All policies are listed based on assumption that all HCL America employees have moved from India to America. Things work here based on who you know rather than a defined process. No professionalism here at all. The HR system of the company is a pain to work with. If you are working on an employment offer with them, make sure to take all the agreed upon items in writing, as their HR do not stick to their word. It is next to impossible to schedule a personal meeting with senior management, as all of them work from offshore and do not have time to talk. In between the status meetings with senior manager and VP level people, the attendees start talking in their regional language assuming everyone belongs to Tamil Nadu.

Pros

There are no pros to mention.

Cons

First of all if you are hired in USA do see the offer letter and ask HR if you do not see any mention about your Sick Time off. This company will ruin your personal life by saying that your sick time off is included in vacation time off which is only 10 days annually. There are unlimited leaves available but only at a higher band, do ask before accepting offer. Moreover the company itself is disoriented in its operations, Every manager will put pressure on you without listening the ground reality, They don't care about their own company's reputation. And when you are released from one project i.e. when you have 1 month left in client side billing the release note will be followed by a pre-termination letter from HR stating if you don't find a project in next 30 days we will terminate your employment. And your release happens just like that even if you are a rock start performer or a low performer. They don't want you to succeed. The top management if the worst of all, they will never listen a word from you. On top of all these you will be given not just 8 hours of work you will have to work for 15+ hrs along with off hrs and weekend hrs with no additional pay as they will mention you are a exempt employee in offer letter.
