HCL is undergoing Transformation after Vineet Nayar's initiative of thought leadership.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Its culture is undergoing a transformation and looks promising. There are some initiative towards having a transperant management and honnest approach towards caring employee career. For example, 360 degree feedback, 2 year job rotation, SSD, etc. Its strategies to business, though it follows 'me too' services like every other Indian IT compnanies, there are few areas where it is trying a differentiating strategies., e.g. Axon, Boeing delas, etc. which I believe will pay off.

Cons

Unfortunately HCL inherits a long history of authoritarian culture in Sr and middle manangement, which is very difficult and time consuming exercise to break. Hence the transformation is slow and may take several years before it can be fully functional at all lelvel.

Pros

Stable job and travel opportunities

Cons

VERY poor management at all levels. VERY difficult to get paid as a contractor. No phone numbers or people to call with HR issues, only email. Emails are rarely answered. Overall the company is very poorly managed. Answers from India on important issues do not materialize without constant nagging. Managers do not seem to have the authority or influence they would have you believe and rarely assist employees with HR or pay issues. Frequently told India and its people have a 'Can Do' attitude, but it appears to be more of a 'Can't Do' environment.
