The experience at HCL Technologies thus far has been a good one

Z/OS Systems Programmer (Current Employee)
Cary, NC

I have been working at HCL Technologies (Infrastructure Services Division) as a contractor for less than a year

ProsSome of the experiences at HCL Technologies thus far has been fairly good. They have very good benefits if you are a permanent employee of the company. My experience so far with management has been a good one. I have no complaints about the management.

ConsI came on as a contractor. I have been a contractor for 6 months and expected to convert to a permanent full-time employee after 6 months. Nothing seems to be happening to effect the conversion to full-time.

Advice to Senior ManagementSpeed up the conversion process when a contract employee has served well and desires to be converted to full-time permanent status.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

If you can speak you can survive, in tamil they say "Vayulla pillai pozhaikkum"

Group Project Manager (Current Employee)
Milwaukee, WI

I have been working at HCL Technologies (Infrastructure Services Division) full-time for more than a year

ProsYou make your own way up, you can have a good relationship with anyone based on whom you have contacts with and what you do for the organization your designation does not matter after some time

ConsSome HR policies sucks, and the travel policies are awful, does not take care of you while travelling even if are an Employee first organization...it is becoming more of a profit margin first, employee second organization.

Advice to Senior ManagementEBITDA and profit margins are important, but in the long run a satisfied employee can turn many prospects to realistic opportunities.

Where Merit Rules

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)
Dallas, TX

I have been working at HCL Technologies (Infrastructure Services Division)

ProsMeritocracy - Fair Environment, Transparent Feedback Mechanisms.
Responsibility - Higher responsibility to people willing to stretch themselves to get to the next level.
Empowerment - Employee First is really about Empowering the interface with the customer... Amazing shift from companies which are focused on top down decision making.
Growth - with some businesses in the company growing @ 15% - 20% CQGR, growth opportunities for any person willing to work hard for additional responsiblity and career growth is great.

ConsIf you are a person who needs to be constantly supervised and told what you need to do, this is not a company for you.
If your focus is not career development, instead, you are looking for some quick wins in salary... you are probably better off with companies who make salary their only differentiator.

Advice to Senior ManagementDevelop a stronger Middle Management.

Very comfortable / open and encouraging work environment with ample opportunities to work on different domains.

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Charlotte, NC

I worked at HCL Technologies (Infrastructure Services Division)

ProsOne could move from one department / area of expertise to another, within the organisation with ease upon demonstrating required skills. Internal training system / talent management system is very constructive. They have projects on various technical areas, hence more opportunities to learn new technologies.

ConsHCL Technologies is not a very good pay master at the lower / middle and upper middle levels of organisation.

Advice to Senior ManagementShould be flexible and quick to adapt the new ideas and ways of working in order to cater to the customers flexible needs.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

There was once potential....until most of the workforce was laid off or outsourced...

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Rutherford, NJ

I worked at HCL Technologies (Infrastructure Services Division)

ProsThe people. Your fellow employees that are dwindling in numbers.

ConsNo guidance or honesty at the senior management level. No clear plan for the future. There was always a feeling of the floor dropping from underneath you. Too many layoffs after being told there wouldn't be any. Overall sense of dread.

Advice to Senior ManagementResign your positions and allow new more enthusiastic people to run the company.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
