Pros
There are some really talented people working there. They actually care and try to solve problems that are bigger than themselves. Tight knit teams make their own culture.
Cons
HCL doesn’t listen to the people with the experience nor the experts. Their policies are very Indian centric and not how the rest of the tech world works. They promote their friends without the experience into positions they are failing at - They don’t acknowledging the people with the experience and don’t provide any growth for them - Externally, HCL’s procurement and legal teams don’t adhere to industry standards with major publications and have ruined our reputation with global organizations - They don’t show employees they care about them: - Lying about how bonuses work when you get hired - Black box approach to raises and promotions - Underpaid by even the lowest industry standards - Unresponsive HR team (one example, travel expenses stuck for months) - When top performers leave, no-one backfills them. Work gets burdened on others. - Budgets are always late. And budget get taken away to fund executive bonuses at a whim. HCL puts us out to dry and deal with the blowback from our vendors and partners.
