There is no pressure of any kind in HCL. Since i worked in a manufacturing company i had to face a lot stress, but here in HCL there aint any pressure.

Dislikes

Dont expect any increments or any bonus or stuff like that. When you join, get the maximum hike possible. And expect that to be your salary till you resign from HCL unless you are extraordinary, and you are too good at what you do.

Work life balance( project-based)

Dislikes

Since it is large sized organization, job security, compensation is very less. They will only choose max of 2 employee for high performance, others will rate as low even if you perform well.

...sidering basic humanity this is best as everyone has a family to take care of. if you want less pressure work and okay with current package and dont want to be thrown away , HCL is the place for u

Dislikes

The work culture is terrible, strict hierarchy. If your supervisor find you learning or practicing new, you will be given an additional work which is of no use. Especially Cisco projects (which is HCL's client for more than 20 years), full of senior resources working in the same project for more than 5 years, they dont want to grow and doesnt let u grow as well. Managers doesnt interact with team members, very very less hikes, and if lateral then dont expect anything.
