Business Outlook
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
