If jump here with higher package with higher position, it will be better. Job security with low pressure.

Dislikes

Salary hike is low. Processes are slow. They didn't behave politely to revoke, if we put a paper. Compensation won't give with addition into CTC. They will give as retention Bonus only.

No skill development oprtunity. But management expect you to be highly skilled employee without giving any facility for training. Some projects are like school environment, like every week they conduct Tech talk sessions, knowledge sharing session. It's seems irrelevant and forcefully driving. When it's come to package it's a single digit appraisal, need to come in with good package and can't expect much in regular appraisal cycle with outstanding performance.

Dislikes

New recruited employees getting more salary than an outstanding performer with same experience.

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.
