Pros
Pros are below: 1) Salary credited on time. 2) Less work or No work. 3) Covid leaves 4) No sacking as this is like a government office.
Cons
1) If you leave within a year, they will recover all the bonus they paid you which was included in your CTC. Not any external bonus. So who ever has doubts about AMBP in hcl should take a notice that it is totally recoverable. They are taking my 200000 as i am moving out at 11 months. 2) Technical work is very less. They hired me for L3 jobs and gave me L0/L1 job. We just have to follow on emails and inform client team. Most people got comfortable in this but there is no future. 3) They will ask you to come to office weekly twice. Although every MNC is doing work from home, HCL is forcing people to come to office weekly twice. They don't care about your conditions. For them there is no corona. 4) There is no shift allowance. I am doing 24*7 which was unexpected. Monthly i am doing 15 days night shift but they are not giving a single Penny for allowance. It was not there before the pandemic too. Shifts are not clear. You can have to work on 3 different shifts in a week. Discuss all these with your HR before joining. 5) There is no compromise on Notice period. 90 days notice period for hcl which is the reason no body will hire you and you have to stay here.
