Pros

Decent pay, not great pay. Decent benefits. For an American hire, expect a very Indian approach to everything, including HR, benefits, travel. There are many terms in emails and the HCL Web site that I still have no understanding of their meaning but the Indian offshore/onshore folks are always polite.

Cons

Oddly cost conscious, even when the client is paying for all expenses. I have a monthly gauntlet with Indian travel, lodging teams. To book a trip it takes about 30 emails. Most offshore personnel have no concept of American HR norms, American geography and hotel prices. I have been sent to hotels where I would not leave my dog. They complain each time that they are not given enough notice on travel (like I am deciding, not the client).

Pros

My salary - which may only be the way it is because I was transferred from another company which outsourced its IT to HCL. I can work at home a lot.

Cons

HCL makes no attempt to engage us as participants in the company; all they do is issue work and pay a salary. Short-notice international travel is a pain. Especially 11-hour flights in economy class. Only cheap hotels are allowed when you do travel. You have to use the company travel "service" to arrange your travel, and the whole process is painful. If, for example, your flight home is cancelled, they just can't cope; you have to do it all yourself. You will also wait two months to get your expenses paid. Don't even think of claiming the interest you will accrue on your credit card! There is a general air of chaos in the management of just about everything.
