Pros

The pay was good and the job was at a nice company.

Cons

It was a contracting job with a very big client. Unfortunately there was no one there to make sure the supervisor was fair and no corrupt. There fired many people every week which should have been a red flag that something needed to be investigated. I was apart of that unlucky majority. If you were not liked for any reason that had nothing to do with your work performance they would make up something and say it was your work performance and then fire you. There was no one to talk to, the hiring agency is CDI, and they acted like their hands were tied and just tell you that the client chose not to specifically say why. It is a very sad thing in this day and age that people can cause you to lose your job just because they don't like you. The client have about 4 people that are really corrupt. HCL did nothing to investigate or find out any further. I was there for 8 months, I missed 2 days-- which was the lowest of anyone there and not even one eyebrow was raised at the sudden firing? The stress that everyone was under because of the constant firing was too much. I heard that it is better now because the supervisor of HCL has changed so that may be a good thing because I saw her a side of her that was very ugly and unprofessional.

Pros

Good working benefits based on par with similar organisations. 25days annual leave, Life Insurance up to 4 times your salary, Free annual season ticket loan, child care voucher, Free annual eye test etc.

Cons

Starting salary is very low compared to other organisation in similar field....£16,000 and only pay statutory redundancy. Working environment has become very unbearable as the company is going through a face. Most of its work has been offshored for cheap labour, and 4 peoples job is now being managed by 1 person. It's more like a sweat shop now with no good career prospect.

Pros

If you are just out of the university, HCL is a very enjoyable place to start a career and/or if you wanna have fun without stress like student times: - Amazing international environment - Friendly easy going colleagues (you can find REAL friend) - Depending on the project you are assigned, the work it may be stressless (anyway not difficult and without big responsability) - there are chances for learning something useful, BUT YOU HAVE TO ACTIVELY SEEK FOR IT! - Not much concentration needed to get the job done: you can party all night and if you are not drunk you will handle it :) - Nice benefits - Frequent new hires renewing the atmosphere

Cons

- Low salary (the average for the city) - Nearly no possibility of growth (you may become team leader eventually after some years) if you are not Indian - Plenty of messy procedures - In case of urgent action, the senior management will shoot collective mails with the sentence "do the needful" - No ownership of mistake
