1. Worst HR - the worst person ever recruited by hcl where I worked... I shouldn't have said this but what's the duty of an HR towards an employee- resolve employee's problem,to sought out things instead of helping me out with what I was suffering ... When I cried in front of him by explaining my problem his words were - " ye Rona dhona mere saamne mat karo" your Team lead said GET OUT OF THE FLOOR in front of everyone without even caring about the thing that he is talking to a girl .. still Hr's word were this 2. Worst Appraisal - come on this is the thing u cannot ask from HCL salary was already so low.. afterwards if u got good points during ur appraisal, salary increment will be of equal amount whether u worked better then the person who rarely completes his task 3.NO Growth - If u are working in a particular department... Though u are good in some other department and u wanted to move your team lead, your manager, won't approve that easily and in case they do that... Other department heads will not even arrange an interview for u... So for example if u are a technical graduate working in Bserv domain of hcl u cannot dream of getting in to ur field.. bczz there heads do not think u r even worthy of giving interview for that What do u want while working with an organization to grow, to earn better and with healthy environment... All 3 things doesn't exist here

At the time of interview, my interviewer mentioned different tasks that I need to perform however after joining they have given me Data entry work which can be automated however they are not willing to accept change and wanted to continue it in old fashion. You will find tobacco spitted in all the washrooms except in the Tower and floor where leaders sit. Basically Zero hygiene. There is no tranperancy in system, people who do buttering are the ones who are rewarded well in appraisal and given different awards. Infact I asked my manager "Do we also get opportunity to travel for work" and he answered "Why will I take someone who is new in system with me, I will rather take old resource just for travel and then work will be handed over to new resource". They force you to Work from home only when they want it otherwise it doesn't matter even if you have extreme emergency, you are forced to come to office. You also cannot take leave as they won't create a backup for u or let you create SOP. I would suggest not to join reporting team.

Appraisal is very low minimum amount of 1000 rs also they can't give ,i think it is based on the project. The most i disliked in hcl is travel facility so much of partiality in that, In BPO They provide two way free cab for only lady employees kms also recently extended from 35 to 50,but for men employees only 35 km radius after exceeding one km also they are strictly talking about the rules but men employees having a cab deduction of 2000 rs monthly, it comes near to 15% of salary deduction for transport itself,in bpo salary is already low my suggestion is you can give free cab to lady employees but the same time 1000 rs cab deduction for men employees will be considered good in my point of view. Thank you.

This is the worst company I have seen in my career. Extremely heavy on politics with oldies hiring other oldies. New talented people are leaving the company in bulk. DO NOT JOIN THIS COMPANY in Mode 2 at Noida HQ - there is NO process and lots of politics is happening. I repeat do NOT join this company. When you join in small deals presales in Mode 2, they will first make you look stupid in front of a large audience because they themselves don't know what to do. There are many oldies and young ones who stay - talk behind your back. There is NO trust in the team and managers lie to prop up their favorites. Senior management is oblivious and desperate, because they are part of the problem; but see people as disposable. Do not waste your time here, it's a useless company. They make you work on holidays and weekends. And moreover if you have a personal work for even few minutes - they put an escalation with lies that you did not do your work. Do not waste your talent here and do not join. No matter how much you work, the oldies collude with each other to STOP your growth. STAY AWAY from HCL - It's toxic like the acid HCl.

As I was on site , salary hike and compensation was void for me according to the work pressure I get daily.

Pay wasn't good. Hike wasn't good. Pay structure was not good. I didn't enjoy .. daily same type of work. No innovative work. They are too much into support and service type of work so don't expect you will be asked to do R&D. For general shift huge buses were provided and you will have to reach to them if you don't fall under predefined route. For food we had to pay. Tea and coffee were free.

One of the worst Indian IT company in regrads to the yearly appisal system. RMs/ 2nd level reviewers are a helpless lot. Senior management does it at their whims with unrealistic recognisations to appease corporate. Sycophents and gangs has lot of scope to get undue credits. HR folks are absolutly useless and the worst lot in industry. Yearly PB is flatly deducted for 70% apprisees population up to 60-100% and hopelessly the 20% of CTC constitute one’s PB. Corporate is honking and always keep on pressing the management to cut the costs and in last 4yrs the environment has became very demoralising and sad place at work thruout the company. Other Admin and support departments are worst in industry like govt crrupt clerks. Freshers are offered megerly 1.8-2.20 L. To add to worst yearly increments are avarage (for 60% population) 0 to 1% or max 3-4% for rest. Will recomond not to join at this time.

HCL has little knowhow of software development and tools involved. since the culture is client loaded and with àttrition and no common knowledge base(as a bulwark against attrition), repeated knowledge transfer from the client was/is common. people are apprehensive to take the blame lest client raises a concern. so after a while, we were not allowed to know about the library on which we had to work. The tools were also inadequate. We had written c++ code in notepad because we were not allowed to install even free IDE. The network speed can hardly bypass 3G on a phone on a good day. I assume, they are throttling and analysing. Which is good but to have a umbrella level policy is demoralizing and puts in question the culture, HCL is embracing. Well non work related are also significant but had good software practices been followed, this would have been trivial. They over-optimised the process to the point that basic hyegine and wellbeing becomes questionable. No toilet paper in restrooms. I can't imagine shaking hands with one of the HCL fellows. No coffee etc. no coffee machine etc.

Employees being placed on bench for a month or 2 once recruited. Project may change at any time. Annual leaves are less.No sick leaves. Onboarding team do not respond to queries. salary is very less. People are egoistic and sometimes being rude. Very rare team outings. Hr interaction is very less.

Employee work for money this is a universal truth, if their salary is enough to maintain life balance then they will be more concentrated towards their work. Only cons in this organization is their appraisal, we can't forecast for the amount of appraisal and from when it is going to applicable. Only this drawback sometime change the mind of their employees to quit their job
