Hi, I'm joined in 2019 as a fresher. I don't know why HCL is giving different packages to each fresher. I'm getting 2.85 LPA and some of my friends are got 3.5 and 4.8. what is this huge difference ?. But we are doing same work together. If we think hcl is deciding package according to academic percentage, lower than my percentage peoples got 3.5, This the only this I don't like in HCL.

I'm happy to be part of HCL company. The work atmosphere is very good. I joined as a fresher and I've learned new technologies here apart from training. The company will provide many opportunities for our innovative ideas. There is HCL health program which takes care of our health and also they care for our beloved one's health. Another plus point is that my colleagues come from various cultural backgrounds and we work happily in collaboration.
