Nothing as such you need to appear for interview after interview to secure a project and the company itself makes you alien when you are in bench, no exposure to technology and you can't upgrade your skill with the kind of work

Dislikes

HR and management are worst species here they never care for your career they only look for you as billing cash cow, nothing else!!

Likes

I like the benefits, they have many but must know how to use it.

Dislikes

HCl work on managers. Manager is everything in HCL. Even if they have policy, unless manager approves it you cannot do anything. HCL managers are least bothered about their subordinates and their team. They only come to take the credit. Almost 95% of employee work on client location...HCL has very less in-house projects. And they also do not provide cab or shuttle facility for client locations.

Dislikes

Culture and office politics and management. System don’t work properly then they can to do compensate without overtime. Their have 10hrs work policy and if doing from home ask to extend the shift if not doing then giving bad rating in appraisals. Appraisal never comes in the same year like appraisal letter hanged with management appraisal of 2023 was given in Jan 2025 so.. very bad and don’t give even basic increments...Read More

Barely anything since policy changes in HR

Dislikes

Almost everything HR treats you dispensable by equating you like factory workers in name of hybrid working. Coincidentally the HR head who devised this policy actually indeed worked in industrial setup before getting a break in HCL god knows how They ask you to be present 9 hours a day even for global roles that are not really dependent on clock in and clock out hours. HRs are so dumb that they're simply a infested message carrying pigeon of the top...Read More

Work Life Balance

Dislikes

This organization has extremely toxic culture, get ready for no promotions/appraisal they will give you all sorts of reasons to skip discussion about appraisals. And god forsake even if you manage to get good ratings it shall be generally delayed by an year easily. The top creamy layer always gets the attention they need but overall the organization is an goverment organization.

Likes

Can not say anything goodz just the thing is I have met good colleagues only.

Dislikes

Can not say about other projects but this company makes this Order Management part like disaster. Only our team following strict 8:30 hrs shift + 1 hr break, rest teams getting flexible breaks, promised for Hybrid, but not providing it, no work life balance, tooooo much bad experience.
