HCLTech Solution Architect salaries in Mumbai

Likes

It was a good company but it is no more. As a large company, it has projects to be placed. It would help if you had a proper network to be in projects. Too long on the bench might attract attraction for you.

Dislikes

Don't expect a Salary hike. Be happy with 1.5% to 5%. Only people with proper networks can get promotions. Management isn't that versatile. Work wise it is more of a service company with minimal innovation.

They Don't follow their own policies. Ex: Apprisal Year is April to March, Compensation hike as per policy will be in July, but the letter will be released in October. So they manage 2 quarter's.

Dislikes

Dislikes

Appraisal & promotion process. Delivery team Mafia. Not providing/crediting appraised amount from April like every other company. Worst mid-senior management. Very commercial in providing health care to the employees. The good campuses and good health care units and good administration is only in couple of locations, rest is worst.

Dislikes

Salary, Career growth. Bringing Intermediate/12th class qualified people when there is so much unemployment in the market. Intermediate qualified people work in PMOs and recruiting, they question and ask our weekly updates, pathetic experience. Increments are given only for every two years and that 0 to 3%. Favorism for promotions and surprise bonuses. Unrealistic demand for contribution to Value portal, just to meet the management targets. Very unrealistic promises by Sales people to their customers.

Dislikes

The way they treat employees is pathetic - if you are facing any problem there will be no one to hear you or stand by you. All are teamed up at the end 3. There is no career growth at all. You'll see employees who just get around 1 lakh or even less even after working for 10 -15 yrs. For So
