Pros
- always paid on time, though heard from colleagues I ought to be auditing my paychecks as several have found pay being withheld - they don't get in the way of me doing my work
Cons
- I'm employed by HCL but work at the client site. Have had a few conversations with my HCL managers, but they don't to anything to support me or my work. It's frustrating to know they're taking a good chunk of the money the client is paying for me when they don't offer any actual value to me as the worker. I wasn't even recruited by them. I was transitioned from another contract. - their internal website is so slow and internal systems are pretty archaic, disjointed (i.e. one internal page lists my job description and title as something quite unrelated to my actual work) - max 2 weeks vacation - instead of giving pay increases, they give bonuses every 6 months which feels a lot like having money that I've earned held hostage unless I stick around.
