Likes

The interactive culture, Job security and skill development is something I can brag about my company.

Dislikes

Everything else except the goods I mentioned above. Especially the salary benefits, people who are newly joining and people who are already having higher salary might get what they wanted.. but people like me who have average salary (below 30k) and average 5 yrs experience, can never expect anything good since they think I don't deserve it.

In HCL salary breakup is a biggest scam. Because if you are joining company with 15 LPA, your take home will be around 95K. Remaining 30k is not assured to return to you. So please dont join HCL if your family is fully depends only on your salary.

Dislikes

...y members, caste, favouritism for Managers, Business Department Unit heads, etc. No regulated salary packages. example: new Joinee (either IT or Non-IT) receives more than 5-7LPA, but experienced person (Non-IT) receives less than 7 LPA even the employee was loyal to the team & organisation.

Dislikes

...xperience and with HCL 3.5 years. HCL has all slow process with no transparency. pay you very less comparing pears and industry standards. when we request for pay rise as per market need to discuss with L2 manager or higher, they will behave like owner for company and convince you that nothing you did for company. If you in C code project you're done in terms of pay but they will charge more that industry standard with that client. while in project term if you do resign that information to client will be communicated after 75 days and relieve you on 88th day. even you have 1 year experience this company will talk about policy and change for their convenience without employee communication.
