3rd class behaviour of higher management.. it's extreme micro management and No respect for any employees! You'll have to convince HCL higher management fools along with convincing the Clients HCL Management never respect their workforce at all.. they remove on-site and ask you to do Night shifts

The plus with HCL is like if you are lucky and get a good client/project you can have a good work life balance.

Dislikes

Their are multiple cons in the company - 1. They will deduct money from your salary unnecessarily in the name of variable which they say is rating based. I personally never got less than 9/10 in quarterly ratings but still they used to deduct around 60% from EPB. 2. Zero hikes / No promotions. In my almost 2 year career no hikes happened. 3. It is top heavy company. There are 2-3 key people in every project who decides the fate of others. Full of egoistic people in management.
