I had worked at HCL Tech more than 11 years. This year our CEO started a new initiative called "Wage Reduction Plan" .
What it really means, HR searches and marks individuals who can be replaced by someone with a lower salary (VP to Janitor).
If you are planning to work for HCL, remember that you will be replaced by someone cheaper as soon they find them. I'm being replaced by someone who I trained and the person can not be older than 26 or 27 !!
Employee first sold to customers is a big lie.

Happened to me! Watching the company blow money on fancy lunches and kissing customers asses was quite eye opening. Letting the one person go that was 💯 dependable is priceless.

After 18 years with Verizon, our team was outsourced to HCL, which later replaced us with offshore staff. We were required to train our replacements in order to receive a severance — an unfortunate experience that left a lasting negative impression.

Hey guys, they did the same thing to me. I don't know who they replaced me with other than to justify their decision to cut costs. They actually used a performance metric since they did not have any justifiable reason to let me go, they used a performance metric that was no more than a 1-5 point difference to say that it was enough of a reason to terminate me even though they had an office space that was no longer being used except by me and one other person, so from what it looks like is that they were trying to cut costs were they could. I would not recommend working for HCL Tech when they can do something so underhanded and low to those who they supervise. I would have to say that they don't value those who they manage.

They've only been warning folks since the 40s after the hedge funds created the first great depression in America.

Pure persona work. Do you think the best people to shape AI are people with generational money and very little qualitative knowledge? LLM control has a bias a mile long.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
