They are not really harsh on you. You get your comfort and PIP isnt very common, for good performers they have regular company policy based appraisals and for weak performers they have IJPs. HCL can be said a family. Its not a high paying place but a lot of security and medical benefits is there.
No chance of upskilling within org, external courses will be required if you want to enhance your knowledge and technical skills.

Best company for freshers who want to build carrer in a right path. Exceptional performers will always be rewarded with bonus and certificates. Job security is best in the market.
Promotions might delay even after recommendation. Experienced resources will face gradual hike in the pay scale which is not close the market rate. Work life balance might get affected during month end period due to workload.

Some stability,learning opportunities
Manager given too much power even if he's incompetent, HR non existent , too much politics like manager can twist company policies against u and there is no check. Leadership needs to be more competent. New comer less experience, average performance, but managers favorite will get appraisal in first few months even. While u beinga great performer but boss doesn't personally like u, he will gv appraisal that too hike of 6% in 2.5 years (first appraisal after 2.5yrs). Unequal policies, company running on whims...Read More

There are very few and supporting leaders in the company.
No work life balance. No proper estimation and unrealistic targets which in turn affect the employees working timings without any allowance. We are forced to work in weekends to meet the target. Only 3% hike when the company can sponsor for cricket. HR doesn't support employees but rather support the leadership. When raised for any concerns managers target your appraisal stating it's the bell curve and it works the same way in all the projects....Read More

Established name in industry, ample opportunities for skill development.
Work culture is quite toxic, a lot of micro mamangement. Process management within HCLTech is quite poor.

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.

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.

Only thing is timely salary.
Promotion is only for bootlickers, salary growth is negligible, work life balance is worst, managers are not worthy, useless and without any skills as they were bootlickers of earlier managers.

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

Hcl was good in before 2022 and the project managers knows how to get business and things
Current mangement especially Suresh Khanna who is taking care of utmost project is very poor. He doesn’t mind to bring new projects to HCL rather he wants to chit chat with girls and provide all promotion,increment,OT and on-site opportunities. There is a girl in his team who don’t know to work. If someone ask questions he behaves like hitler. This project is completely hitler rule no one can question him. He himself says I can do anything. Whoever sees this post kindly forward this to senior management to take necessary action. We are not living in hitler rule...Read More

Nothing big to eloborate
In most projects ppl who can't even comminicate to client in English hold project manager position. And if the person who is reporting to them speaks good English then the revenge session starts

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.
