Nothing other than my salary which was at par with market since I was lateral entry. If you are working here as a fresher just get out of this place. Do not work here for more than 1. 5years. Look for better opportunities.

Job security - Good

Dislikes

Micro management and lack of freedom. The medical claim process is pathetic. The managers will just try to manage everything which is unnecessary rather than the necessary stuffs. Never choose Chennai as your HCL Location if you are a north indian. They will make your life hell.
