Pros

If you are an employee that got transferred by your former employer to HCL then take advantage of getting your paycheck because your employment days are counted but they won't tell you that.

Cons

HCL Transition team will paint and tell you a wonderful picture of this partnership with your former employer but not admit to be an outsourcing business. Each quarter, they will tell you new decisions and directions that will impact your on your job. When you see more employees from Indian traveling onsite, that's a sign of taking over slowly. HCL Management tells you of new business opportunities but it is all a face. Not real for most of transitioned employees. They will use you until they don't need you any more. They say you can try get to other internal jobs but it is not real either specially if you are a high paid salaried employee.They will tell you about their need to keep US Employees but it is not true. They will tell you that they don't do massive layoffs but they do layoff. Their business management style is of seniority and you don't have any empowerment - they talk to you about Employee First approach but it just doesn't exist in their outsourcing business. Again, it is all a pretend face to use you until you are no longer needed and terminate you (less than a year for most of us). There is no future with what they or promise or give you hope.

Pros

Looks good on your resume that's about it. Insurance is decent.

Cons

Where do I begin? No sick days, you have to use your own PTO. You are not provided with any tools until you pay for them yourself, that's when they will reimburse you. The Job Description Says no more than 100 miles for traveling between home and site which is an outright lie. You will be micromanaged on a per-day basis. You are using your personal car to drive to these locations. High Rate of Turnover at this position. You Work 9 hours per day, but can only clock in 8, and good luck in getting a lunch break if you are not interrupted all the time by your boss and clients The training is outright laughable. Won't be allowed to get OT because you will be told the company doesn't have the budget to do so you "Be granted a day off" if that happens. Waiting to get reimbursed for everything takes weeks on end while your Bills stack up. Clients will treat you like trash. When getting a raise is outright laughable. There will be times you will be doing the work of two to four employees at the same time. They will literally hire a warm body to do the job doesnt matter if you have experience or not. Impossible deadlines to be met.
