Dislikes

1. Salary & appraisal: They will not increase the salary for more than 2.8-3 years. Fake promises to increase salaries and hike. No extra money for OT also. And also they are deducting variable pays every months without any reason (there is court case against HCL for that, you can read article on internet also). 2. Work life balance: In one word disgusting. We are working from morning 9 to late nights 9:30 average daily even one Saturday and Sundays. 3. Company culture: Fake promises and fake hike news they spread, and even after 2.8 years they are not releasing hike letters. 4. Work satisfaction: No matter how hard you work they will not happy and they will give more work to you. Senior managements are going home after 3:30 / 4:00pm but normal employees have to work till nights. 5. Overall: DONT JOIN THIS COMPANY....Read More

Dislikes

Many: 1. Work life balance is nill. They treat employees as slave and make you work for almost 14-15 hrs per day 2. The way they treat employees is pathetic - if you are facing any problem there will be no one to hear you or stand by you. All are teamed up at the end 3. There is no career growth at all.

Dislikes

They do harassment of their employees and their is an hr named Vivek Sateeja working in HCl lucknow till now, who mentally tortures their employees and forces them to resign due to which I am still unemployed. They spoil career of innocent employees.

Work life balance is good. They won't keep you ideal. They keep giving you training and upgrade even in bench.

Dislikes

Starting itself for a long time we were in bench, due to which less career growth happened. Salary is less. No proper appraisal cycle and appraisal is also less. Job security was there earlier now when u stay in bench for 1 month you should have HR call fear then.

Campus

Dislikes

They will give appraisal if you spent minimum 2 years. No work from home even if your family members are in critical situation. If you got 10 score ,your rating will be decreased by SDM(Overall project manager).They suddenly gave WFH at October or November month because company release compensation letter during these months.

Likes

It gives WFH opportunity which is good as compared other tech giants.

Dislikes

Appraisal is very poor, cannot think about promotion within 1-2 yrs experience. Promotion mostly takes after 5 yrs and that also done very rarely.

They will offers you training on various technologies with some good hands on, upto bond period. They will provide some internal certifications like aws cloud practitioner and azure fundamentals,etc..

Dislikes

HCL is lack of projects since most of the employees is on bench for longer period and they will not gain real time experience in project,so it will be very difficult to sustain in market with theoretical experience.so it will be better to join in startup companies for freshers.
