Pros

Large Company, with opportunities for training/learning. Okay benefits, with the exception of Vacation Leave (two weeks forever).

Cons

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.

Pros

It is a job that pays you money

Cons

Where do I even begin.... HCl is a company that will overwork and underpay you and never give you a raise. I was lucky to get a very competitive wage when I started that I felt like I deserved and I fought for that. However even that process they bait and switched 3 times offering higher amounts over the phone and then going back on their word and offering less and less each time until they finally sent me an offer letter. The entire company is inept at communication at any and all levels. You will never get a raise and any time you have any kind of issue or need management/HR to do anything for you results in being ignored. Additionally they will add and add to your roles and responsibilities and ask for the impossible and unreasonable. They get contracts by underbidding other MSP's and then hiring as few people on site as possible and refer the rest of the work to overseas workers that will never do any work and always kick responsibility back to you. If you ever get lucky and they are forced to actually do their job they show that they clearly have no idea what they are doing or talking about. All around a terrible company to work for. If your job role is getting outsourced to HCL, fight for a good salary up front because they will never give you a raise and try to look for another place to work as soon as you can.
