...t in advance. So submit your laptop at least a week before the last working day. This level of cost-cutting is disappointing. The management and politics at HCLTECH are very poor. I would advise against joining HCLTECH in the future.

I would like to request you all for your valued advice on how is HCL tech as a company. I have been offered consultant role & have received a 30 % hike.

How is the job security for mid-level experienced employees?
