Pros

If you are with a good project and a good team you can have a good time and growth.

Cons

1. Too much inclined towards client and everything proposed is accepted. 2. "Employee first. Customer Second" policy of the company is a big joke. 3. Some clients just are too difficult to work with and employees are further burdened with additional responsibilities on HCL end. 4. Group managers in most projects are in the company for more than 20+ years and they are still working with the master - slave approach. 5. Group managers make it hell for the employees and contribute to the attrition of the company. 6. HCL mandatory trainings are too vast and very difficult for laterals to spend time to complete them and they have no value to add.

Pros

You can survive only if you are closer to top level. If not better don’t join in HCL Edtech

Cons

Hiring for some role and allocating some useless roles. Repetition of same work allocated to multiple persons. Wavering focus, everyday unique priorities and later goes to trash then starts with new most of them were useless. No focus or plan or process. Most of the time spent on meetings with no outcomes. Force fitting certain things and overdoing on certain aspects. Working on old technologies. Multiple weekend spoilers no comp-offs. All day work at office and the list goes on and on. Had a great feel when HCLTECh offered but this Edtech totally spoiled the hcl image. Thank god I escaped.

Pros

Can support for few weeks in case you are in bench 1) Good for the ones who come with no expectation 2) Slightly better than staffing company in few aspects like brand, E-learning and 50k medical insurance.

Cons

Many 1) Since many of the employees are working for clients, the bonus eligible for an employee working for staffing company is not applicable for HCL employees. Salary remains same for almost all contract employees be it from HCL or pure Bodyshop companies. So you are at disadvantage. 2) When a contract employee, works well it’s usually practice that they will be absorbed by client as full time employee. While pure staffing companies allow this, companies like HCL won’t allow this. 3) Even if client gives $500 hike in billing rate, when it comes to HCL, they may give a hike at the max$200 to employee. But in case of pure staffing company the entire benefit is passed on…
