Pros

HCL is a great starter for new graduates and goes through a 6 month training program for Software Developers (atleast from what I went through). The training work is pretty easy overall as long as you focus and have a general/base understanding of programming. At the end of training a project is required for you to finish with your fellow trainees .After finishing the training, you are then allocated to different projects for different companies which gives you real experience. 7 Days off per year for federal holidays and also 3 days "floating" holidays where you can choose any 3 days off for that annual year. Average benefits to choose from: Dental/Medical/401k/Etc

Cons

Very unorganized from the time of training to even projects that you are allocated to. Leads to frustration and a lack of knowing what to do a solid 50% of the time. Higher managers are extremely rude and ready to disregard you at any given point that doesn't fit their agenda. Gaining PTO is slow compared to other companies. 1 full year of working barely gets you 10 days of accrued PTO.

Pros

nothing, really, nothing appears to be functioning in this organization from onboarding over working, billing, offboarding

Cons

I have not been paid for my work after almost 90 days now. There is no formal explanation or refusal, but they are just sitting it out it appears, pocketing the money that has been paid on my behalf by the client.
