HCL - Worst Employer

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Many onsite opportunities .

Cons

- Employee UN-friendly policies. Don't even approve Airport to Hotel bills. Say they have covered it one time relocation allowance which is $400 (taxable, after taxes you get around $ 275). Don't approve any bills for first few days in hotel stay. - Support staff departments (ISG, EHS) are lethargic. Big hassle to get any work done from them. They think they are doing any favor to resource if they are processing any VISA application or approving any bills. - Worst pay master while sending employees from India to onsite assignments.

Pros

1. The benefits were not execrable. 2. Valuable learning experience. 3. I enjoyed the people I worked with. 4. They supported a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

HCL has a professed philosophy of EFCS (Employee First, Customer Second): keep your employees happy and they'll make the customer happy. Absurd budgeting mechanisms and rigid top-down management make it impossible to follow through on that admirable goal. There is no corporate "bench" to speak of, and managers are not allowed to make hiring and firing decisions. I was given two weeks' notice five days before my contract ended, and right in the middle of the holiday season, despite the fact that 3 teams had expressed interest in interviewing me. They implemented solutions always with an eye to increasing the customer's dependence on their services.
