Pros

If you're south Asian, you're golden. You will be given preference and priority at all levels. You will ascend through the glass ceiling that exists for the American HCL Tech workforce.

Cons

Farm animals are treated with more dignity and compassion than the usual HCL Tech employee in the USA is. Faster! Harder! Turn over more tickets! CVK needs more money! You have no sick time. Don't feel good? Use vacation! Need surgery? Hope you have the leave banked. Training and professional development? Not here. Can't have the horses skilling up and leaving! Go take the garbage web training--and unless it fits your current job title 100%, don't plan on taking a certification exam. Your HCL certificate will be fine! The "bench" is a perpetual threat. This is essentially a job purgatory workers are sent to when removed from projects. The problem is that there is no "bench" in the US workforce. Instead, it is a place to send workers to die on the vine as they scramble for projects. This company is absolutely dehumanizing to its workers.

Pros

Job is well defined with clear expectations. We are not expected to wear more hats simply because someone failed to plan for that in a contract as I have been expected at past positions

Cons

Annual pay raises are not guaranteed if you do your job well. You are expected to go above and beyond to get them.

Pros

I cannot think of any pros about this beside the workers who weren't imported.

Cons

This company is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I recently worked here about a month ago as a contractor in San Antonio. The whole business is mainly run within India and all upper management they bring into the company they fly from India who have no idea what the hell they're doing. They're cheap, treat employees badly, don't allow restroom breaks and threaten to ship the jobs overseas if you don't do well. I received a promotion and for my last month's there after that they gave me a lot more duties and didn't even give a pay raise. I had to beg for it only for them to offer a small increase. I haven't even received my last paycheck and I emailed hr and they say they paid it out. SCAM!!!
