...ally force you to quit. They would hire a junior on a higher package than you. Variable pay and Appraisal is scam here. They gave Apr'21-Mar'22 appraisal on Oct'22, and that's kind of habit for them to delay it 1 or 2 quarter. Variable pay wold is 10% of your salary, and any time you quit, you would end up loosing more than half of your variable. Variable paid on yearly basis and will be 10% of your salary. So, anytime you quit company you would end up loosing more than half of your variable. They usually pay variable in June, and notice period is 3 months. Also, they paid 95% variable in 2nd rating.

...all variable pay component as bonus, which is almost 15 to 20 % of total CTC. Appraisal cycle is Apr to Mar, but variable pay is paid annually once in May or June salary. This year they have deducted 5% variable in 2nd rating. Means, only those who got top rating got 100% variable component. Also revised CTC letter given in May or June month (6% hike is maximum in top rating). So, whenever resouce resign (with 3 months notice period), he/she will loose that year variable component. Example : Resigning in June end after getting variable pay of last year. So, by the time resource will leave (Sep end), 6 month Variable pay (10 % of CTC) is gone. Resources with 14 year of experience are paid 21Lakh per annum and they are ready to hire 7-8 year resources of higher package like 24 lakh. To summarize, after 1 or 2 year, HCL indirectly ask to leave, by paying you way lower than market standard and there is no market correction. ALSO, THERE IS NO HIKE IN SALARY WHEN PROMOTED.

...Infrastructure, Good Stable Company, good for the people who likes Job security! Salary is always on time, very good medical facilities and others employees' benefits. Overall, it is very nice company for sure!

Dislikes

Salary is on time but other incentives, your promotion, your bonus, your increments etc are in Arrears, You will get it for sure but always in arrears, HR is not at all effective. Just like your Job which is stable, your salary will be stable as well, please do not expect any other thing except Stability. Company culture in terms of HR is not at all good, no major governance towards how management is calibrating an employee, how promotions are happening? That is the only reason I left HCLTech, otherwise, in other domains, might be the HR as people doing good things. HCLTech is a beautiful organization but some wrong people who are in that position to spoil the overall experience and culture, My advice is to hire good mature people in leadership positions and especially in HR domain. Please save this beautiful company and I'm the sure the top management are doing lots of things to streamlines the process down there but really need to put strong governance on middle management, specially in HR domain

Dislikes

More than 6 months delay in appraisal cycles. No appraisal if you are L3 band and above 20LPA. My last two appraisals were zero. Management politics. Management too much egoistic.

Dislikes

Recruiter promised that I will be receiving the entire variable pay for the first year but I received only for a month and from second month I have not even received 50 percent. No hike/night shift allowance for E3 and above bands . Every project have 3 managers (reporting manager, service managers, who will be part of HCL for 10 or 15 years ) , and who used to micromanage to an extreme, they will ask you to work on company holiday and they won’t approve your comp off or Pay for the holiday. Once the project is stabilised , they will release the highly paid resource to the bench
