You can learn quite well here.
The pay package is low especially if you are on a non billable position, there is no appreciation for hard work if you're on a non billable position in a project which is a major factor for a drop in moral and motivation to work.
There no balance, the hours are so long and exhaustive.

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.

There is no way to grow as most of the employees are in client place & nobody is here from HCL to check and validate our performance. Wondering how is the appraisal is been provided. Such a disorganized organization in the support to employees.

No hikes have been given for the past 3 years. If we ask, they say, "We'll give a hike next quarter." They don't provide cabs, and There is no scope for skill enhancement or technical upskilling.

In my experience nothing I like in HCL
actually I wasted one year of time here because I gave face to face interview for 3 rounds after selecting to HCL their was a internal project discussion which means internal interview that guy was very rude and finally he told like I don't know any thing waste candidate for position ....my question is like if I am not capable for that position why HCL is selected me ? Am I not capable? Or HCL interview panel persons are not capable of selecting right person? But any how I wasted 1yr in HCL.....please don't trust HCL...Read More

Big Infrastructure, Good Stable Company, good for the people who likes Job security! Salary is always on time, very good medical facilities and others employees' benefits. Overall, it is very nice company for sure!
Salary is on time but other incentives, your promotion, your bonus, your increments etc are in Arrears, You will get it for sure but always in arrears, HR is not at all effective. Just like your Job which is stable, your salary will be stable as well, please do not expect any other thing except Stability. Company culture in terms ofHR is not at all good, no major governance towards how management is calibrating an employee, how promotions are happening? That is the only reason I left HCLTech, otherwise, in other domains, might be the HR as people doing good things. HCLTech is a beautiful organization but some wrong people who are in that position to spoil the overall experience and culture, My advice is to hire good mature people in leadership positions and especially in HR domain. Please save this beautiful company and I'm the sure the top management are doing lots of things to streamlines the process down there but really need to put strong governance on middle management, specially in HR domain...Read More

There is nothing to say about liking the things about HCL. In Ambitionbox, if I had the opportunity to reduce from 1 star to 0.5 star I would prefer to do that.
There are so many things thing to dislike HCL. 1) Do not go with the Brand name. You might feel that choose a brand rather than any other small companies just go to that small company rather than choosing it. 2) Forget about the hikes. Atleast you have to stay for 2 years then you can think about it(Note: Depends on the CTC. If it crossing more than 7lpa then you will not get any hikes upto 3 years.) 3) Technology is outdated. Suppose If you want to go out from HCL after working 2-3 years then you have to work really hard to coup with the trending technologies because while you are searching jobs in the market then you can realise that most of the tools are outdated. 4) If you think your life is secured after getting a job in HCL then you are wrong because HCL is silently reducing there bench strenth. Max to max 2-3 months. 5) Throughout my tenure in HCL I understood one thing if you are fresher & cannot get a job but hcl is knocking your door then grab it atleast you can get the basic pavement or if you have more than 12 years of work ex then it is good for the retirement company but 1-12 yrs of work ex do not even think about it....Read More

Great work life balance, this is the most important thing. You will get a lot time to live your life in your way. You will have lot of time for your personal development & skill development
Salary hike is point of worry. Please don’t expect hike. Negotiate as much as possible before your joining so that you will not have regret of being under paid but yes always remember your future salary also depends on what are you getting previously.

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.

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

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.
