Pros

Good work environment. no strict timings or dress code. Friendly HRs as they can't do anything.

Cons

Company blocks lot of employee's wage in terms of variable pay which is sadly yearly and attached with your annual appraisal. So, maximum you will gain 100% if u are OS. So, company can save lot of money here in terms of variable pay. Getting promotions easier if close to management. Being employee first company there is no point in forcing employees to serve 3 months notice period.Attrition rate should be stopped only by providing better hike and environment, not by increasing the notice period. "Employee First" is just a funda/gyan by Mr.Vineet Nayar to sell HCL in the market, nothing else.

Pros

It was a job. Pros??? None

Cons

Low pay, no Communication. They Lie. My contract ran out, We had a lot of work and not enough people. They told me they were exyending my contract and to come back to work on Monday. I went to work on Monday and I was locked out of the system. All my id's were disabled. I have been waiting for two weeks to be rehired. At first people were sending out emails to find out what was going on, now there is nothing. I've been ghosted. This happened to a number of people. Plus the people they just let go !!!!!
