Firstly I had joined HCl Comment and was posted in client location. Really the RM and the entire team of Kolkata was very helpful and helped me in all the aspects. Even the client appreciation was being taken seriously. Really the comnet Kolkata team was the best.

Job security - Excellent

Dislikes

...er on I had cracked an IJP which was of service desk lead of Nagpur location . When I had reached there I had demanded for my salary hike which was being promised in my IJP . I was surprised to see that a new hired RM from a BPO promised me that in between we can't change your salary this year but later on the next year your salary will be hiked . Then I demanded for the designation then after 2 months they denied. I had gone to HR and raised this issue . But I was surprised that there is no result from them . I followed the chain and gone to the seniors . Even I had gone till company CEO for this issue . But I was surprised that for every mail I got a reply that we are looking for this issue very soon we will contact you and I had attached all the proves in the mail. Later I was mentally so depressed that they forced me to resign .

The thing I dislike most in this company is salary growth. Salary hike not depends on appraisal comment and work pressure. It is pathetic while I have to work up to full satisfaction of customer as well as company and get good review and appreciation but at the time of increment upper stack holders are least bother about salary increment.

Hcl Tech EPB ( engagement or employee performance bonus) deduction issue.

Hi friends, I am sharing an important information with you. I have recently joined HCL tech. Last December, 2024 my first quarterly appraisal was done. I got near about 7+ out of 10. As of now everything was okay. But this month i.e March,2025 I got only 30% of my EPB component. I then connected with my HR and Manager and RM also but no response. Everyone said, I will check it etc etc....then I talked to one of my colleagues and got to know that if the rating is below 8.5 then 20 to 30% of the EPB component will be credited. Wow 😂...really shocked. Every one in HCL has this issue or concern. So guys if you are a new joiner, be cautious about your quarter or annual rating. Do not accept less than 8.5 or else it will be hugely impacted to your salary slip. Also 7.15 out of 10 is around 70%+...but how they were calculated 30%.. don't know...really bad policy implementation...I am now deciding to leave it now...
