Pros

There is plenty of work to be done, meaning a lot of opportunity is available to learn new skills. Accounts have service delivery managers and account managers onsite for easy availability.

Cons

Managers you are accountable to can become excessive - currently reporting directly to 5 people. No viable HR contact or representation actually based in the U.S. - almost all communication is over email with offshore HR who work daytime hours in India. Compensation is not merit or role based - it is pre-calculated based on your current wage. Account management is highly influenced by office politics and much of it is involving offshore resources with no transparency. Designations are not handed out according to job role (you may be doing Tier 3 work, while showing Tier 1 or 2 in their portal) but instead seem arbitrary.

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.
