Pros

There are some very good people and ideas here. The company knows how to change rapidly. They have clients all over the world, if you are interested in changing your geo.

Cons

Cronyism is rampant, management and company culture is to bleed the employee of dedication and hard work, and offer no compensation increases. Mid-level managers have no power to influence compensation decisions. Even if you get high marks, the HR decision-makers will not give you an increase. There are frequent HR and Payroll problems, and little or no support to get issues resolved. Management is incentivized to keep costs, and even vacation, sick and on-call pay to a minimum. There have been a few instances of employees who have had to report violations to the department of labor.

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.
