Pros

The only good reason is job security. They donot throw out people like many other companies. One reason for this is that they have got good clients as of now and the client base is growing. Also as all the clients are international big business organizations which follow well defined procedures in every aspect of business, one gets to learn the process oriented approach early in the career and see its advantages. And salary can be good if you can bargain hard with the HR. Also one can switchover to a different work domain if one shows the required certifications so if you want to move from Windows to say Database, all you got to do is get some certification (by hook or by crook) and then talk with the management.

Cons

The salary is not in comparison to the industry standards. Also there is a very huge disparity in the salaries of same level employees in the company. They dont have any set standard in terms of employee payscale. The salary increments are also linked to the client you are working with rather than your performance. Also knowledge is not much of a benchmark as is the number of certifications during performance appraisals. The initial selection process is also not rigorous with not much stress on the domain knowledge. For freshers or those with very little experience dont expect to be given work according to your interest area or what was promised during the interview. The HR makes a lot of promises that are never kept. Dont in any case go for a verbal promise. Get it in written & signed by Senior Managers. Rest is all luck.

Pros

It is a job that pays you money

Cons

Where do I even begin.... HCl is a company that will overwork and underpay you and never give you a raise. I was lucky to get a very competitive wage when I started that I felt like I deserved and I fought for that. However even that process they bait and switched 3 times offering higher amounts over the phone and then going back on their word and offering less and less each time until they finally sent me an offer letter. The entire company is inept at communication at any and all levels. You will never get a raise and any time you have any kind of issue or need management/HR to do anything for you results in being ignored. Additionally they will add and add to your roles and responsibilities and ask for the impossible and unreasonable. They get contracts by underbidding other MSP's and then hiring as few people on site as possible and refer the rest of the work to overseas workers that will never do any work and always kick responsibility back to you. If you ever get lucky and they are forced to actually do their job they show that they clearly have no idea what they are doing or talking about. All around a terrible company to work for. If your job role is getting outsourced to HCL, fight for a good salary up front because they will never give you a raise and try to look for another place to work as soon as you can.
