Likes

A great company to start your career and give a push. One of the best in the industry in compensation for freshers.

Dislikes

Initial compensation is good but growth is slow. There is no set criteria for promotions and a lot of politics in the process with a favoritism.

Likes

Working culture is excellent. Peaceful environment to work.

Dislikes

Major dissatisfaction is salary hike. They didn't provide hike although you got excellent appraisal.

I like the way HCL take care of its employees. Even during COVID19, hcl paid our salary and takes good care of our mental as well as physical health. The work life balance is great at HCL with Job security.

Dislikes

HCL has multiple projects running so every project has their own work environment and ethics. So, there are internal politics and favoritism present. Micromanagement hampers the real talent and potential of a genuine employee who doesn't involve much into the gossips with managers and taking credits of their peers works. So the funda here is, if you want to sustain you need to network with the managers and need to be in their good books to make progress in your career with HCL or the project you are working in. Even the good ratings and appraisal is being given mostly to their favorites.

Good scope for interdisciplinary growth. Amazing team coordination and support. Work-life balance is great.

Dislikes

...ly imposed micromanagement of employees (something which did not exist earlier). Pay scale increments / promotions are poor despite good and stable performance. Job security is at risk if and when a project gets pulled back by client.
