Employee Friendly policies just for name sake

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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

Everything depends up to your assignment/project and their team. You will get benefitted if you have clear idea and concepts.

Cons

Sometimes it is very difficult to make your visibility among your seniors, sometimes you may assign into irrelevant project / assignments that may not be related to your profile/skillset. Long notice period.

Good company with a lot of potential

Business Outlook

Pros

I've worked for HCL America for a little over a year and have been very happy with them as an employer. They do an excellent job of keeping employees informed about what is going on at the company. They are also very straight forward and honestly dedicated to doing good work for their customers. The benefits are very good.

Cons

There is always a lack of job security when you are a contractor. This kind of company and career is not for everyone. Some also have trouble working for an outsourcing company. It can also be difficult to do this kind of work if you like being part of a team. You connection to the larger HCL may only be through e-mails and newsletters, and you may not feel connected to the team at the company work site.
