Pros

Training for freshers is okay. Health insurance.

Cons

Heavily underpaid. Annual salary increments are also about 5% regardless of performance. Overworked due to lack of staff which they refuse to fill probably for project cost reduction. HR is not honest, false promises are given during the recruiting process. You will end up doing tasks that you totally did not expect. They put freshers into whatever domain they prefer and not based on what you want. They also have a contract period which must be served before leaving. Otherwise, you are required to pay a huge amount back to the company or else they don't give you a service letter. The notice period is 3 months. The majority of their clients are from US and EU regions therefore 24/7 rotating shifts are always there.

Pros

There was a very good training at first. Employees are helpful.

Cons

I was hired as a Software Engineer but ever since I joined I've been doing Test Engineer work. I know colleagues who have extremely different job responsibilities that don't match with their designation. (SEs working as support or QAs). I've had issues with salary as well. Some months it didn't transfer on time sometimes it was an incorrect amount. They do nothing much to make employees happy. Only thing I received from Hcl is a cheap bag of barely edible milk toffees & some tea bags for new year.

Pros

If you land up in a good project then it can elevate your technical growth. For experienced professionals , they can get good packages if you are getting hired up for a project.

Cons

Too many 1) workplace politics is embarassing. 2) Zero work life balance 3) Appraisals are delayed and even if you are a top performer you don't even get your 100% variable bonus. 4) HR is just a namesake. Your Manager has all the power and no one will hear your grievances. 5) No sick leaves 6) During Covid other companies provided some office furniture. None from this company. 7) Assets like your laptop and accessories are recycled. You mostly get old Laptops and even headphones provided to individuals were worn off 8) Every department like facilities , local IT, Admin , security thinks themselves to be a part of secretariat and have big enlarged Egos. 9) Washrooms even at their SEZs were unhygienic and common areas were dingy 10) No compensations for overtime (which is too much if you are in a project delivery) 11) Ergonomics . Like whaaat is that??? Our ODC was over populated and even if you got up for stretching then someone would take away your worn off chair.
