Overall the company policies are good, but at the end of the day it boils down to compensation & benefits. Compensation is very low as compared to industry standards and yearly appraisals are also very low. There is too much politics in the projects regarding good work, onsites, promotions & appraisals. Their focus on employee training is average within projects but the initial training provided to freshers before induction in projects is pretty good....Read More

Friends Dont beleive that HCL is giving 7% or 15% hike. There are lot of loop holes in the Company. There are lot of Enterprise Architect, COE are totally worst. All the non billable resource are totally worst. Friends - Do beleive after they roll out the hike because these people like Chief People officer or CEO - CVK they will getgood package leaving the developers inVain. The reason that they get good salary is because of developers they will not consider the developers. I don't why these people get such a huge salary. There is always a better person in the market than CVK or Chief people office. We need to replace with those people for the company to flourish and developers to flourish. Chief people office has stopped the Catalyst fund, when said this how they are going to giving good hike. Friends don't beleive white collars....Read More

Hcl gives a much more work, we got many appreciation from claint but hcl didn't give any rewards. We get DP or EP grade in appraisal performance but we got maximum 40000 per year in appraisal, if we ask with HR they said hcl overall growth is low.

I had a disappointing experience due to several issues: - There are lots of communication gaps within the organization. - Despite being hired for a role that matched my skill set, I was assigned to a project completely unrelated to my experience, forcing me to work in a completely different domain. - The leaders lack leadership qualities and often act like dictators. - There is no transparency between teams. - Some managers lack the necessary knowledge and understanding to effectively lead. - Although the role was supposed to be hybrid, I was forced to come back to the office five days a week....Read More

Regarding The US project, Please Note: if you are ready to work as a slave, You are a perfect fit for this company and Note : ( you don't have an allowance for US projects Night shift). You don't get your "Variable pay" Every three months, they create new policies without any information. One of these policies seems like a way to steal your salary under the name of EPB adjustment Monthly For example, it starts with 500Rs and may increase based on your salary range. The HR and US project manager are the worst Both are well-trained to fool the employees. I can write more about this kind of issue, But I don't have time. please check with other comments and employees...Read More
