HCLTech Associate Technical Consultant salaries in Chennai

Likes

The Company is open to new innovation, and readily adopts new technological changes. I love the fact that I am a part of a team that markets reliable, high quality services base. as a result, I get to travel abroad. But on-site travel is completely dependent on the project and client location. the another good part is that my colleges comes from various part of the country and different cultural background and we work in a happily collaboration.

Dislikes

Growth is decent but, compensation is a bit slow.

Likes

1. Job security. 2. Good and cheap Medical insurance. 3. Appraisal - Don't expect, you might get lesser salary due to re-arrangement of perks saying changing due to market conditions. 4. You won't get any shift allowance even if you are working IN NIGHT SHIFTS.

Dislikes

1. Work culture 2. Senior Managers don't pay heed to any queries/requests. 3. If you are good in fighting with management then you might get things like promotion/salary hike. 4. Supervisor's won't allow you to upskill, you won't get approvals for track/technology changes easily unless you fight. 5. Holidays - forget it. They'll force you not to take holidays whether it's client holidays or Indian holidays- reason they will never alligned required resources so you won't be able to take leaves or holidays due to cost savings. 6. HR role is negligible as they work like puppets of project managers.

Good annual full body checkup for employees and their family

Dislikes

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

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.

Dislikes

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
