Pros

If you are with a good project and a good team you can have a good time and growth.

Cons

1. Too much inclined towards client and everything proposed is accepted. 2. "Employee first. Customer Second" policy of the company is a big joke. 3. Some clients just are too difficult to work with and employees are further burdened with additional responsibilities on HCL end. 4. Group managers in most projects are in the company for more than 20+ years and they are still working with the master - slave approach. 5. Group managers make it hell for the employees and contribute to the attrition of the company. 6. HCL mandatory trainings are too vast and very difficult for laterals to spend time to complete them and they have no value to add.

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.
