Hi Everyone,

​Received an offer for
HCL Technologies Ltd Bangalore as a Tech lead and am looking for honest feedback on a few points:
Growth: Are there clear paths for promotion and upskilling?
WLB: Is the work-life balance respected across most teams?
Compensation: How competitive are the yearly hikes and bonuses?
Culture: Are the HR policies generally employee-friendly?

Appreciate any input from those currently in the thick of it!

There is no growth after two three years
Work life balance depends team to team. Some team really enjoy and others don’t
Compensation not to expect more than 5%, and get it rewarded only after two years, they do not have a proper process and dates for it. Totally managed by leadership and they take their own sweet time to release papers.
Culture is flexible team to team, totally depending on project managers of the team.

Overall not a good organisation for career

I’m not sure what process you have received this offer for. But honestly speaking

1. There is no growth. It’s stagnant. Even if you give extraordinary performance, you still get a max of 7% and a min of 0%

2. It depends on the project. In our project with Microsoft, we have no work life balance. The entire team works with low head count and there is always attrition and shrinkage.

So the decision is up to you as to how dire need you’re in for this job. If you can wait and grab a nice offer from other company, I would suggest you to join there but not in HCLTech.

And one last thing. The main imp point. The notice period is 90 days and once you join here it’s hard to crack a job outside as most organisations look for immediate joiners or they can wait for 45 days mostly.

All the best. Take a wise decision.
