Pros

You will have lots of work and this is part of a global organization, so you will work with people from all over the world, but mostly India.

Cons

This company has such a bad culture. Blame, blame, blame, escalate, escalate, escalate. Don't work for this company or it's parent company, HCL Technologies. You'll get thrown under the bus for sure. Often departments are understaffed, like HR and legal, so it is impossible to get things done. Seen several people in the company get stiffed on travel. Poor communication and leadership from upper management to Vice Presidents (everyone is a vice president). Don't give out your personal cell phone number. You'll get calls at 2 am on very low level issues that some guy considers a priority across the globe. Was yelled at several times by coworkers when I asked for approvals on suspect situations to cover my ass, rather than being provided the approval. You get completely disrespected by other employees here. It is the standard, not the rare occurrence. Complete lack of professionalism across the board.
