Pros

Big service companies like HCL have many client contracts and a large workforce. Even if one project ends, there are often other projects to move to. So layoffs tend to be less frequent compared to small startups

Cons

Hikes are often below industry average (5–8% per year, sometimes even less). You might get stuck at the same pay scale for years unless you switch projects or companies. Promotions take time and depend heavily on internal politics and manager feedback

Pros

nothing, really, nothing appears to be functioning in this organization from onboarding over working, billing, offboarding

Cons

I have not been paid for my work after almost 90 days now. There is no formal explanation or refusal, but they are just sitting it out it appears, pocketing the money that has been paid on my behalf by the client.
