Worst management people, no job security. You will learn nothing. Everyone will do politics l, even junior engineers will do politics. No appreciations. They will raise PIP and throw you, they don't bother your life. Heartless manager I got l.
I am in worst project. Manager will not communicate anything with you. He is good only to raise PIP. If anyone got selected to MPC project in HCL please do go. Better companies are there. Don't spoil your life. No fun activities. No respect. It's not a company l. Simply jail.

The plus with HCL is like if you are lucky and get a good client/project you can have a good work life balance.
Their are multiple cons in the company - 1. They will deduct money from your salary unnecessarily in the name of variable which they say is rating based. I personally never got less than 9/10 in quarterly ratings but still they used to deduct around 60% from EPB. 2. Zero hikes / No promotions. In my almost 2 year career no hikes happened. 3. It is top heavy company. There are 2-3 key people in every project who decides the fate of others. Full of egoistic people in management....Read More

hikes and promotion are given after 9-12 months from the completion of appraisal. even if you get salary hikes, they are very low and below the market standards even if you get the highest rating. and the the hike or promotion effective is from after the 6 or 9 months of appraisal completion date which is a loss for the employee.

It has various projects, so you don't have to worry about it. If you are keep updating yourself with your skills set. You'll always get the work.
Hike and appraisal, it never happened on time and didn't get updates about the delay, sometime it delayed for 9 months also and got hike very less like 1-3% even if you are top performer. It's all clients centric, so no one will be there to defend or protect you if client doesn't like for any reason. Managers are just puppet of client and higher management. Training and course will be pushed to you and no one will consider that if you are completely occupied in your work . It comes in ad-hoc based and you have to complete it in time by doing it in night and in weekend sometime. Management will push you for new idea and lead generation and despite considering the nature of project it is considered as a mandatory activity to do otherwise your appraisal will get impacted. It has 10-15% variable which hardly 1% people are getting in full. Earlier monthly variable was getting full but later that also made with rating based and you will never get 100% as you can't add idea and lead generation always....Read More

Based on project and manager your skills will develop. There so many learning platforms and certification opportunities but they won't allow you in skill full projects
I worked in Cisco projects, there are so many disgusting managers in the Cisco LOB. They won't allow you develop your skills and professional life. you won't get a project which suits your skill set. If you are in Cisco projects then you are wasting your valuable time. Some managers will ask your work history every hour. They will evaluate each minute. So many restrictions on mobile usage. They will irritate you all the time....Read More

I always believed that loyalty, dedication, and hard work were rewarded in the corporate world. Unfortunately, life has taught me otherwise. Despite giving my best, I found myself facing a forced resignation at a time when I needed stability the most—as someone dealing with chronic life threatening illness and being the sole breadwinner in my family.

HCL learning , HCL culture.
Very honestly saying, HCL lacking no where. But still some managers are making this company and work worse. Its very well said that peoples doesnt leave their company but managers.
Work policy: Normally people have to come 3 days a week but if manager is a true human and your are having some issue, they will consider your felexible reporting to office and even working hours.

Nothing as such.. Just they provide peanuts salary on time and have lucrative infrastructure.
Bare minimum salary hikes. No promotion. Office politics too much. No job security, once you are in bench or rollout from project, your job will be in danger. Work life balance is pathetic... If you are working in support project they can call you anytime despite your shift gets over.

It depends on project and client you are having. If your client is good your life is good else vice versa. HCLTECH has good infra and flexibility in working hours.
1st thing is increment, they follow minimum increment rule. Retention policy of HCL is worst, it's sort of trap. HRs and backend team not accessible and they are good for nothing. Policy are not employee centric. Variables are not paid in full and increment gets delayed by 6-10 months which is total waste

Yes job security is there, but the work culture is not upto the mark, you need to find relevant people for your doubts to get clarified.
Work life balance is miserable, specially if you are working in US shift, the timings of the shift shall make your daily routine puncture.

Their is nothing to like as such in HCL technologies as most companies provide same facilities in and out.
The worst disastrous working culture I have ever seen in HCL people are least bothered about employee sentiments. Verizon project is good but the management is worst they don't know how a process is run.
