Pros

There are no pros to mention.

Cons

First of all if you are hired in USA do see the offer letter and ask HR if you do not see any mention about your Sick Time off. This company will ruin your personal life by saying that your sick time off is included in vacation time off which is only 10 days annually. There are unlimited leaves available but only at a higher band, do ask before accepting offer. Moreover the company itself is disoriented in its operations, Every manager will put pressure on you without listening the ground reality, They don't care about their own company's reputation. And when you are released from one project i.e. when you have 1 month left in client side billing the release note will be followed by a pre-termination letter from HR stating if you don't find a project in next 30 days we will terminate your employment. And your release happens just like that even if you are a rock start performer or a low performer. They don't want you to succeed. The top management if the worst of all, they will never listen a word from you. On top of all these you will be given not just 8 hours of work you will have to work for 15+ hrs along with off hrs and weekend hrs with no additional pay as they will mention you are a exempt employee in offer letter.

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.
