Pros

Can not think about any

Cons

- Horrible management - HR never respond to any requests, just ignores - PMs cannot handle any work related situation, unqualified - Compensation is way below market - Does not value employees - Horrible appraisal process, might take 6 months and no compensation/position change. Even if you got something, it will be few hundreds. - Keep feeding you with promises, but never actually do anything. - Not friendly working environment - All H1B just pretending to do job, but not actually working, super lazy and transfer responsibilities to others

You Have Been Forewarned - HCL stands for Hydrochloric Acid!

Business Outlook

Pros

To be truly honest, nothing! I would say Health Insurance, but that increases and kiss your small raise goodbye.

Cons

Micromanaging at its BEST! Every minute of your day will be monitored. No access to print without sending info to a LEAD or Supervisor. All their Negative surveys, are just a little taste of what you are in for, if you decide to jump on board. This place does not have a Work/Life Balance, as they promise! They are not "EMPLOYEE FIRST", as they claim to be. More like "Employer First, then Client, and Lastly, Employee" You will leave their worse off then when you began, as don't try to use HCL on your resume'. Rather, use the project(s) you worked for. They paid me 3K less than anyone walking in the door, because they abuse the Government Funding to get you employed, and make it seem like they are going to train you, but in reality, their training is "Sink, Swim or Die".

Lack of growth

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, decent health care & matching 401(k)

Cons

While your schedule can be flexible, it will also require working in PST & IST times. You're practically on-call all day and every day. No room for growth. No reinvestment into US based employees. I was frequently the ONLY woman in meetings full of Indian men. Huge lack of diversity.
