HCLTech reviews

Treat employees like children. Performance reviews are forced to bell curve, meaning many people rated one or two levels below actual their performance level ... seems more tied to financials than actual employee performance. There is nothing an employee can do to improve their performance rating. Promotions are more for "status" than anything else and have little real value. A so called "Bonus" is forced on employees, which is based on performance review ... targets set with financial penalties, which most are not allowed to achieve. Like to put lipstick on the pig ... make everything sound better than it really is, such that even good things can be disappointing. Huge company with many "one size fits all" policies, often leading to silly outcomes. When employees are unsatisfied (and a large number are), it's put on low level managers, when the real problems are higher up. In some ways, HR seems to run the company, and is often non-responsive to queries.

Seniors will put you down to leverage themselves your work and time not valued you are demanded to spend 12 hours or more, but wont be allowed to claim it. Basically working extra time for free. Manager will throw you under the bus, anything to save their name. Easily blame you when things go wrong even if it was they who instructed you to do it in the first place. If you don't have anything in writting as solid proof to defend yourself, you are doomed. How would you work in such an environment where people are busy fighting? Team members wont help one another, its a competition. People hold their ego very close to themselves. Too much negativity. The work that's piled up wont cause you stress, its these kinda people that drain you mentally and emotionally.
