Terrible place to work

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

It is some job that pays salary and provides benefits. Beyond this there is nothing positive about it.

Cons

They are equal opportunity employer (literally) - meaning no matter how well-educated you are, how much experience you have they pay you less than a new engineering college graduate. Regardless of your experience, they will make you work like a technician or low-level employee. They will make you work like a slave - overtime, weekends, without extra pay. Some of the managers are very unprofessional. One of my managers did not meet me on the day of joining and for the next 6 months when I was supposed to be working on the same project. He tried to do everything to avoid meeting me. Another supervisor shouted at me though I was much more educated and experienced than he was. They move you from project to project, place to place without any consideration for your family. They don't give much for relocation or living expenses. With the salary they give, you can't even rent a room in the garage in the areas of the country like Boston, SF Bay area, LA, etc.

Worst Place Ever

Pros

None. Was lied to about how good company was when forced to move from Xerox to HCL.

Cons

Everything! Treat employees here in the US like dog crap. Bring lots of workers from India to replace Americans by lying for H1 Visas. They work 3 to 4 hours a day at most here and over in India. Screwing Xerox out of millions!!!

Pros

• Casual (within reason) dress code • Decent medical benefits • Great onshore colleagues

Cons

• Preferential treatment towards offshore/India-based and/or Indian nationals • Locals / US Nationals continually unsupported or flat-out denied opportunities to transfer to new projects, or consideration for growth/promotional opportunities • Personal relationships prioritized over competency when growth/promotional opportunities arise • Compensation not aligned with role/responsibilities, approximately 30% or more below market • Inadequate benefits (ie. no sick pay, vacation hours are accrued for salary positions, and STILL lacking) • Collaboration between onshore (US) and offshore inadequate and ineffective, leading to duplication of efforts, inconsistency, no level-set, disregard for role/responsibilities and chain of command • No accountability of offshore employees (multiple reminders to complete a task is the norm, and you must keep current tally at all times for escalation to management) • Management consistently unresponsive to escalations (see above) • Continual lack of adherence to client agreed-upon policy/procedures by offshore staff, leading to continual compliance challenges, compromise in service to client and end-users, erode trust and respect that otherwise should exist in relationship with client
