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

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

I liked that the work environment is not toxic. We can go for a walk in the break time to refresh the mind.
I don't like the timings of the shift here. 10hours shift + 3hrs travel time. And according to the shift time and work load salary is very less than expected.

Company culture is good. Secure Job.
There's no work life balance, no proper hike, no promotions. Even if you get promotion you won't get much increment in salary, There is no shift allowance even for night shifts.

Yeah Job security.
A complete mess. The sort of experience I had along with some of my colleagues who joined on the same date was appalling. What I found out that the communication from HCLtech's end is disastrous on so many levels. Now I am not sure if it's the project which we were going to get tagged or not, but the experience was not good. Have you ever heard of an employee going to bench after joining a new company. No communication whatsoever was provided what was the reason behind it, then after 2 weeks, we were invited to train and get tagged to a new project for a different role, we were trained for 1 month on and off and after that again no communication about what is happening. After 2 months of training and anxiously waiting for the outcome, they inform I am not getting tagged because the client needs my passport and I don't have one. Never did HCLTECH ever say that Passport was mandatory. Post that I had to apply for a passport to avoid another scenario as such. Appalling experience....Read More

I joined in as a fresher and this company turned out to be a nightmare for me
There is nothing to like about this company . No work culture , no growth , minimum salary is given just to hang you by a thread . Employees are being exploited in the name of company policies.

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.

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.

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

Nothing which I liked
It logistics team provide some low grade olx laptops followed by itfo who never be able to fix laptop issues they just do some basic troubleshooting and give the laptop back to employees there is another one connect team who closes tickets immidiatly after raising it, it’s a chain of activities that needs to be done even after that they don’t replace your laptop.
