Pros

Basically, nothing. It used to be a secure employer earlier, but that is not the case now!

Cons

Nincompoops can stay securely at HCL if they play their politics well. It is not a place for high performers. The bureaucracy within the company sucks big time. HCL should fire 20% of their staff, closing down all "internal" departments who basically do nothing. Nobody seems to reply to emails at HCL. It very difficult to get anything done.

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 !!!!!
