Pros

Basic benefits, but other than that...

Cons

Management is TERRIBLE, will not fire bad employees (Ex. doesn't show up for work, shows up but watches youtube the entire time and does nothing) but only move them to another project to be terrible there instead so that it doesn't look like there is high turnover. My team has been waiting for THREE MONTHS to get the overtime we worked (mandatory overtime work for an entire month, only one day off that whole month), management promised it would be last month but obviously it was not. Unrealistic expectations for the team, especially after not paying us. Made a lot of big promises like after 1 year they would help you find a better project or if you are interested in a different field they would help you... obviously they have not delivered there, either. NO CAREER GROWTH unless you are Indian and male. They don't care about their customers, they just want the numbers to look good even if they client is unhappy with the service because they have them roped in with a contract.

Pros

I get a paycheck and decent benefits

Cons

There are good people on the vendor side, but all the HCL of Indian decent stick together and do not let me into the club. The HCL manager never reaches out to me unless my timesheet is late. All HCL cares about is getting a check.

Enter at your own risk

Pros

A job if you need one to meet your financial responsibilities. Otherwise "Enter at your own risk"

Cons

I became an employee of HCL when they took over the IT operations of the company I worked for, due to the company Outsourcing the entire IT department to HCL. I had to train my replacement but I was one of the few lucky ones who was offered an opportunity to remain with HCL. I stayed with them for a little over a year, but left because management was all over the place. There were too many managers and not enough people to actually perform the work. Also if you were not Indian or of Indian decent you were treated like a second class citizen and many times not even included in your own departmen's meetings. the non-Indian employees used to refer to the company as HCHell instead of HCL... that tells a lot...
