HCLTech Senior Project Leader salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

It's a service company so there a lot of different projects to work on. The project has good portion of work to be done so most of the work is development and maintenance. The teams for QA, support and development are well defined so there is no mix of responsibility. The work culture is what you make of it, take responsibility of work and soon you might lead a team. There is no micromanaging if you take ownership of your work. The display of ownership and quality of work is appreciated, so you can apply your thoughts and technology to provide solutions. Excellent interaction between offshore and onshore teams. So to summarize if one understands the criticality is f the work and has time management to complete the work you have the freedom to work as you like.

...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

Salary on time. Good peers

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.

Best company for freshers who want to build carrer in a right path. Exceptional performers will always be rewarded with bonus and certificates. Job security is best in the market.

Dislikes

Promotions might delay even after recommendation. Experienced resources will face gradual hike in the pay scale which is not close the market rate. Work life balance might get affected during month end period due to workload.
