HCLTech Software Developer reviews

Workload is little more, need opportunities to grow

They will give you ratings like GP, EP, or even DP, and your manager will keep assuring you until the appraisal that you’ll get a good increment. However, when the appraisal actually happens, you’ll receive your compensation letter six months after your review cycle. For example, if your review period ends in March, you’ll get your letter in December or even later. And when you finally get it, the letter will contain just one line: “Your compensation remains unchanged.” When you ask your manager about it — saying that you received a DP rating but still got no raise — they’ll act as if they have no idea what’s going on. This cycle repeats every year. So, if you joined at a salary of ₹5 LPA, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve spent at the company — your salary will stay the same. In some cases, they might even reduce your salary by adding “bonuses” like the EPB (Employee Performance Bonus) to make it look better on paper.
