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

Policy are not transparent. In Offer letter AMPB was given as fix salary but after i resigned they deducted my salary just like others as part of their money making policy "AMPB". They show they have very less variable but their variable is very high. Half of your salary is variable which you will never be able to know until you resign. Will take this ahead to Labour Court of India.

Cons

Everything is Cons, no Pros about HCL.

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.
