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.

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

Likes

The company offers robust training programs, certifications, and upskilling opportunities, particularly in emerging tech (AI, cloud, cybersecurity), helping employees stay competitive.

Dislikes

we work really hard in project but the salary we are getting as junior's salary. I am not at happy with my hikes even though I got exceptional performance

Likes

Job security, training for new comers

Dislikes

No guarantee of promotion, very little hike or no hike, almost zero employee benefits (except medical), very difficult to get even small things like stationeries, printout, micro management.

Likes

Job security at HCL is generally stable. Work-life balance, however, largely depends on the project, client, and manager.

Dislikes

HCL offers stable job security; however, career growth opportunities, including promotions, rewards, and salary increments, are limited. Working harder or more dedicatedly often results in being assigned additional responsibilities rather than receiving recognition through salary increases or promotions.
