HCLTech Technical Lead and Project Manager Reviews

Only job security is a pro in HCLTech, unless you are someone with 15-20 years of experience at some management level.

Dislikes

Hardly any projects, only support projects are there. Skill development is poor. Pathetic salary hikes. Appraisal cycle will be postponed without any reason.

Pathetic company. Never join HCL and in case you have to then leave within 2-3 years maximum

Dislikes

Nothing is there to like. Initially job security was a benifit now they are making increasing efforts to make sure all experienced employees leave and they fill all positions with interns and freshers for a salary of less than 15k month

Likes

For learning and experience this is good company.

Dislikes

Negligible appraisal. No promotions . There is no standard of giving salary. Junior employee in same team with lower band could have higher salary than senior with upper band. They do not give any goodies on Diwali/new year. They do not give any money on referrals. Just the extra miles points.

Likes

In HCL salary breakup is a biggest scam. Because if you are joining company with 15 LPA, your take home will be around 95K. Remaining 30k is not assured to return to you. So please dont join HCL if your family is fully depends only on your salary.

Dislikes

Salary breakup is the biggest scam.

Liers, in press conferences they said appraisals will be given to employees in OCTOBER while they have not even provided it till December and is expected to move forward to JAN OR FEB which was earlier expected for July. In short since 2 years no appraisals. Moreover forget about appraisals, they will even cut your EPB component. They don’t even have any process for deciding EPB payout, they randomly decide it. Sometime provide 80% for 9 score, sometime 50% for same 9 score...Read More

Now company has started working on new technologies and trying to make a product out of it, I am part of that team. So work satisfaction is there, along with no mandatory WFO ( it mostly depends on your project and manager).

Dislikes

Appraisals will be very less even if you are top performer. There are a lot of process involved to get certain approvals. No proper communication on hike cycle this time

Likes

Good Buildings, Lot of projects, Good food courts.

Dislikes

No bus facility, not good work culture, no work-life balance, worst senior management, very bad appraisal mechanism and which is not implemented or followed by management effectively, salary hikes are very less sometimes a big NO for it, No transparency in any process, policies are there just in documents nothing is favoured to employees and will be considered by HR team only when they need. Overall 8 negatives for 2 positives is the high-level ratio. As I could see the organization is not running in the way which was there 10 yrs back. Companies margin majorly depends on employees variable pay cut I believe....Read More

The interactive culture, Job security and skill development is something I can brag about my company.

Dislikes

Everything else except the goods I mentioned above. Especially the salary benefits, people who are newly joining and people who are already having higher salary might get what they wanted.. but people like me who have average salary (below 30k) and average 5 yrs experience, can never expect anything good since they think I don't deserve it.

Company ambience and environment is tooo good... regarding work life balance it completely depends upon the projects... Currently in my project I could give a rating 5 star for work life balance...it's not even much stressful job at all...project wise it depends upon your luck... security for women is very good

Not a recommended company to work into, but can work if you don’t have any other option.

Do not think much about increment or promotion. HR’s are of no use a 1 day approval will atleast take 10 days. As I had come accoss a situation where 1 simple approval took 4 months.
