Job Security is the best thing in HCL, this will not fire their employees in the name of cost cutting, they have enough projects anywhere they can set you internally but won't fire you.
- Job security - Excellent
Dislikes
Company is hell in terms of compensation, benefits and shift allowances they do not provide any of the such things, even you will get your appraisal lower than expected. Overall it depends on the project, here HR policies are not strong due to that project MGMT can make their own policies which is differ than HCL. Whenever you go toHR to complain abt mgmt policies, hr people will also merge with them later and at the end you will not get any solution....Read More

Promising hybrid from last August but no solution, as per then for few employees they are not doing at for so called "team chain" Less salary with a huge 3.8% hike Can not see promotion untill you are a management employee Work satisfaction was good till some time but company has ruined it well. Culture 😀, irritating management, promising to provide recognition for extra performers which was mentioned 2 months back and now there is nothing 😀....Read More

Their have 10hrs work policy and if doing from home ask to extend the shift if not doing then giving bad rating in appraisals.

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

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.
