HCLTech Engineering Manager Reviews

Likes

I appreciate HCL Technologies' commitment to innovation, employee growth, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive work environment.

If I were to point out one aspect, it might be the scope for improving internal communication channels to enhance efficiency and clarity across teams.

Only job security is a pro in HCLTech, unless you are someone with 15-20 years of experience at some management level.

Dislikes

Hardly any projects, only support projects are there. Skill development is poor. Pathetic salary hikes. Appraisal cycle will be postponed without any reason.

For learning and experience this is good company.

Dislikes

Negligible appraisal. No promotions . There is no standard of giving salary. Junior employee in same team with lower band could have higher salary than senior with upper band. They do not give any goodies on Diwali/new year. They do not give any money on referrals. Just the extra miles points.

Likes

In HCL salary breakup is a biggest scam. Because if you are joining company with 15 LPA, your take home will be around 95K. Remaining 30k is not assured to return to you. So please dont join HCL if your family is fully depends only on your salary.

Dislikes

Salary breakup is the biggest scam.

Now company has started working on new technologies and trying to make a product out of it, I am part of that team. So work satisfaction is there, along with no mandatory WFO ( it mostly depends on your project and manager).

Dislikes

Appraisals will be very less even if you are top performer. There are a lot of process involved to get certain approvals. No proper communication on hike cycle this time

Likes

One thing only that no one cares about you mean to say when are you coming or going to office...now it's upon you takes it positive or negative....HCLT or Wipro these companies are kind of Desi companies...if u r 3.1 + above band then 15-20 % salary they will make as bonus and wipe out

Dislikes

No salary increase from past 2 years, its luck for you if your manager hear your query, also 1-2 years of experience HR will be top of your head doesn't matter how much experienced you are

Likes

Job Security is the Problem, Permanent Employee working more than 8 years committed and dedicated towards work. not hold by the company at the time of company taken over by Karvy. Shamelessly the Company ask that , Please look opportunity outside. HCL.

Don't bother even u worked for HCL more than 10 years ,if u r in bench for 4 weeks ,HR team will block access and threnten u to submit resignation

Likes

Good Buildings, Lot of projects, Good food courts.

Dislikes

No bus facility, not good work culture, no work-life balance, worst senior management, very bad appraisal mechanism and which is not implemented or followed by management effectively, salary hikes are very less sometimes a big NO for it, No transparency in any process, policies are there just in documents nothing is favoured to employees and will be considered by HR team only when they need. Overall 8 negatives for 2 positives is the high-level ratio. As I could see the organization is not running in the way which was there 10 yrs back. Companies margin majorly depends on employees variable pay cut I believe....Read More

The interactive culture, Job security and skill development is something I can brag about my company.

Dislikes

Everything else except the goods I mentioned above. Especially the salary benefits, people who are newly joining and people who are already having higher salary might get what they wanted.. but people like me who have average salary (below 30k) and average 5 yrs experience, can never expect anything good since they think I don't deserve it.
