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

There is nothing "good" to say regarding this company.
One of the worst companies in providing their employees with salary and benefits. Very poor management and work life balance , not listening or responding to the problems of there employees and discouraging or not releasing employees to move to bench if they are not satisfied with the work . Citing various bogus reasons to retain there employees in the same project by not releasing them and forcing them to work overtime with no extra pay....Read More

Everything else is a dislike. There is no skill development, managers behave like 'sarkari babus'. Higher management is unreachable...too many restrictions...you can't even open YouTube (imagine!) Many more dislikes but I don't really want to waste my time n energy listing them down here

Good annual full body checkup for employees and their family
Recruiter promised that I will be receiving the entire variable pay for the first year but I received only for a month and from second month I have not even received 50 percent. No hike/night shift allowance for E3 and above bands . Every project have 3 managers (reporting manager, service managers, who will be part of HCL for 10 or 15 years ) , and who used to micromanage to an extreme, they will ask you to work on company holiday and they won’t approve your comp off or Pay for the holiday. Once the project is stabilised , they will release the highly paid resource to the bench...Read More

Job security nothing more than that and so many projects have very pathetic work environment managers are egotistic and not a manager as skill just based on tenure spend their life in HCL and they don’t have good increment or roles so all the frustration to the new resources who have much package and knowledge.
No Increment even achieved top rating in the team. No promotion, No on-site opportunity (just for favourites)

HCLTECH is a good company to work with. The work-life balance is good, but it depends on the project/account. The work atmosphere is good.
poor work-life balance, below-average salary and benefits, limited career growth opportunities, inconsistent management quality, concerns about job security due to project-based work, and a perception of inadequate salary hikes even with good performance

We can learn some other skills via some platform like Percipio. This is an advantage.
Salary hike is extremely worst. I'm very disappointed about that. And, they are very conscious about getting work from employee they treat like a machine.

HR team is worst in HCL. No promotions, no growth, they deduct salary without any justifiacation. You will be hired for X work and will assign you Y work!!!! No clarity why hired X skill set manpower when required Y skill set.

Nothing is in favour of employees and slogan of company like super charged progress seems super charged in salary deduction. There is no policy in HCL and whatever HR will say that is the policy even they don't follows there made policy. I am 10+ year of experienced person and faced strange incident in HCL that HR changed by salary structure on day of joining and believe me I didn't have another offer except to accept the same. Overall HCL is not a company and is a shop....Read More

Leave policy is not good, very less leaves. Bench policy is not at all good, there is always a situation if you don't get the project you have to leave the company. No increment letter received since last 2 years.

Being a big brand in IT industry, it's not a good company for long term. No promotions, No appraisals, very less opportunities for onsite which are reserved for non desr
No promotions,, no appraisals, variable pay deductions, onsite opportunity for selected people only, no allowances, policies are not employee friendly.

More I will think less likeable thing I will discover. Only good thing is that somehow HCL TECH has good reputation in India. Apart from that you will get lot of things to learn.
Salary, appraisal, salary increment, option for WFH or hybrid module.

You will chances to learn new or latest technologies. Able learn process and procedures to handle new clients or Bidding projects etc.
Salary hike won't happen properly . Even if they give it will be less than 4% and can't expect when you will get a hike. Sometimes it take years together to get a hike..All depends on in which LOB you work for and which project is it long term or profit margin etc..will come to picture.so getting a hike has got multiple parameters. If all parameters fall in place you get a max 4%-5%.

It has multiple projects so you can choose your projects based on your skill.
If you are on bench more than 2 months HR call you to put resignation forcefully. You are not able to get appraisal as per your expectations.

Good
The senior manager should keep skip level meeting to juniors. Also the manager should verify the OT payments. There are few managers like Suresh Khanna who literally loot project budget money and give to girls like OT. Also this guy doesn’t have professional behaviour. He used to speak bad words in front of girls sitting in client location

Nothing as such, no projects in the name of supercharging in progress only managers will get promotion, other designation need to do exact job. That too client with no cab facility 😱
Everything is dislike location,client location. No one bothers about you and your skills, health, families etc better not to go. Don't join engineers, it's already outdated with very old people who doesn't encourage and make you feel you are employee. Don't take wrong decision in this AI era find best work place and work not company.

The job is secure, and the work environment is satisfactory. Salary comes on time. No work load.
Worst management. Small and easy things take a lot of time to get completed by the senior management (Sarkari Babu's). You cannot reach higher management and keep your point. They will also never reach you. No salary increment or promotion for deserving candidates. You will never get your 100% variable. They have lot's of points to deduct your money.
