HCLTech reviews

- Single most important point, Pay. They pay fairly less as compared to many other firms, but, almost the same as other Service industry stalwarts like Infosys, TCS etc. - Shout too much. Many false claims about being best, being leader, having best pays is being done, even when internal reality is not so - The middle management is sluggish at the best. They are essentially a residual of attrition of best brains which has been happening since a long time - Off late the tendency has been to move towards mechanized way of working. Automate/Generalize everything possible in a single template and force everyone to use that system. - An unofficial thinking that if a work can be done by 4 freshers, why hire a professional. Hire, Knowledge Transfer (on paper), and deploy. Quality of work is not primary, getting it done is important - Though HCL is highly process oriented, it is not always the best way to deal with various things. Like Quality of work - process orientation kills diversity of work.

Heartless employer when it comes to compensation. The compensation will be 20%-30% less than the average market rates prevailing in the area. They bring in most of their staff on L1 Visa with very less salaries which would tie them up with the organization preventing them from shifting companies. Most of the resources work atleast 12 hours a day without any overtime benefits and they cannot do much about it as they live in the US on a L1 visa.
