Nothing. No clarity of action of owner's of compensation starting from SDM, DU Heads and Financial Org of the company
Everything especially the appraisal process. Leadership thinks that offering 1% to 4% as annual appraisal increase will people satisfied. The sense gets more absurd when external resources are hired at 25-30% at bought to sit with you. The appraisal ratings are mere gimmick as end of the day, percentage increase of ctc is not based on someone's performance rather SDM and other financial stakeholders of the project deciding it....Read More

Nothing is special to share as worst company which only knows how to take benefits from employees by changing policies and cutting salary without any prior info.

HCL used to be one of the best organization's and my favorite but last 6 years of my employment in HCL were eye opener and made me believe that I should have left this organization then only. Believe me HCL is now in discussion for employee exploitation and Female employee are reluctant to join HCL because of fear physical harassment.
Teammates are fabulous and very friendly, Training opportunities are ample but given to only those who are close to managers or doing favours to them, Appraisals are biased and influenced by parameters like employee region and community .." My manager was from Bihar and always appraise employees from Bihar with top ratting irrespective of their performance and when we raised the concerns we were forced to be kept quiet" In fact I was forced to absorb his cousins in Account and groomed them though that was against the company policy. extensive interference by the manager in our personal life ruined the work- life balance as we were forced to join his political rallies on weekends and saying NO to such events were impacting our appraisals. Level of harassment we go through can be understood from the fact that we were forced to favor my manager by giving him expensive gadgets and electronic devises such as Laptop, Apple watches, donations to his/friends NGO, not only this he used foul language about female employees and even SXLY harass them.. female employee was harassed to the level that she had to formally complain against him to her manager but for some reasons the case was not reported to HR. I don't know if such feedback really matters as I already highlighted this to the HR while leaving the organization but I think such people must not be allowed to work in HCL no matter how close they are to senior HR or Leadership its just the company and its employees who will suffer at the end.. Wish this beautiful organization a bright future....Read More
I have been a performer through out 9 years of employment but never appraised accordingly. Last 6 years we full of pain not only i was forced to buy expensive gadgets for my manager was also not allowed to apply family VI

Workplace culture is good and no pressure or deadlines or to complete the targets. Senior management are supportive.
In some projects work from home policy is not there so not good for work life balance and annual leaves are less it has to be increased.

The job security is always there because there are multiple projects on which they will align even if you are not trained for it.

HCL doesn't pay you well... The annual increment is usually around 2 to 4% . Promotions are with 0% increment. The HR is very unresponsive and rude

Partiality between male and female staff. For the girls there is no cab KM range, they can pick at any place but, for the male staff they fixed the KM range that they are struggling and it's impact on their work life or even mental health.

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.

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

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.
Work policy: We need to ask for WFH and it depends on manager if he approves it
