Avantages

The only positive thing I can say is that the health insurance options are pretty good. Otherwise, the benefits are about the same or worse than what you'd find at any other big company.

Inconvénients

The work environment and culture are extremely toxic. There's no respect for work-life balance: I consistently had to work more than 40 hours every week, and was asked to come in to work on the weekend for no apparent reason (no major releases or demos were coming up) on several occasions. It was a struggle to get any vacation time approved, especially if you were asking for more than a single day off. What makes these conditions worse is how inconsistently they seemed to apply: certain employees would consistently show up late and leave early (esp. management), or simply not show up, and never seemed to get reprimanded. As a result, the employees who were diligent in doing their jobs were forced to work even harder to pick up the slack. As a result of these (and other) factors, any employees who are even marginally talented seem to leave within two years. This means that almost all the people left are the ones too incompetent or lazy to find better jobs, and it really shows in the quality of work produced. One thing all the reviews seem to mention is the low pay. They're not joking. Virtually anywhere else you go will pay better, especially if you have some experience. There is almost no growth in terms of salary: Despite getting positive reviews from all the senior members on my team, my raise was less than the rate of inflation. If that's not bad enough, I had one of the higher raises on our team.

It is a job that pays you money

Inconvénients

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.
