Pros

nothing worth talking about. good campus. decent cafeteria.

Cons

recently, they have made the notice period 3 months to control attrition. this makes it very difficult to switch over since no company is willing to wait 3 months for an employee to join. so you will be stuck with hcl at low salary and find it very difficult to switch jobs. they dont reduce notice period even for people on bench or those not on project or non billable. 3 month notice period beware! dont join if you want career growth and increment. also, the increment they give is max 5% and that too only for a few chosen ones. there is no increment worth talking about.

Pros

If you are lucky enough to work for an English speaking American citizen, you will be respected more than if supervised by an Indian.

Cons

HR is very immature. You cannot understand the Visa based managers as they do not speak English very well. Pay is lower for Americans than for Visa Indians.

Pros

Good pay, nominally for service desk work, decent healthcare though it is California based and this is at the USAA Main Office in San Antonio.

Cons

They classify you as a salaried but listed as "flexible work week" so they can pay you 0.5X overtime, if they pay at all. Normally it's just a gift card at around $10 an hour worked. Also, time off is frowned upon and is very hard to take, if you ask for it less than two weeks out you will be rejected. Promotions are not merit based, but totally on who you live with or are buddies with. If you are looking to move up, don't look here. We've had leads leave because their pay was never increased. Management is 100% about the numbers, you are a resource, and if you aren't perfect they will drop you like a bad habit. Very "Top down" leadership, don't expect much training of guidance once you are on the floor. You have to figure out what is going wrong before you get "a talk" about your lack of performance.
