How is it like to work at HCL
Life at HCL
Whoaa !! My turn to answer it with a different perspective (may be a bit skewed but for sure would be helpful) !!
So, HCL Tech is an Indian IT MNC hovering with revenues in range of USD 6–7bn for quite many years and its appreciable that it has still maintained its dominance in global IT services competitive scenario as compared to its close competitors like TCS, CTS, Wipro, Infosys.
I was employed with HCL in ERS-OEM-Telecom-Wireless vertical which interprets as Engineering R&D services for Original Equipment Manufacturers in Wireless Telecom domain. Vertical integration of the wireless telecom industry will mean communication service providers (CSPs like Vodafone, Airtel, Jio). Arriving to evaluating the company against following parameters:
- Quality projects: Similar, to telecom vertical some of my friends were deployed in Healthcare, Automobiles, Avionics, Unified Communication, Infrasturcture Division domains. Projects were quite good in case you had the potential as well as positive attitude to learn. I had enriched knowledge in Physical layer code of a RAN box simulator (telecom guys will understand) as well as conformance & interoperability testing, 3GPP defined specifications for GERAN and UTRAN protocols and architectural understanding of wireless access technologies to quote a few.
- Future Prospects: Onsite opportunities were quite decent after a fixed tenure at the HCL and which seemed to be a promising aspect for the engineers. Almost, all of my friends i know of in the company had once a chance to visit abroad and work with onsite team at good pay as well as role enhancements. Some of them became permanent consultants to the client as well.
- Offshore Pay: Take home pay is generally cribbed about by many employees as compared to its rivals.
- Workplace Facilities: Gym, cafeteria, sports, cleanlisess, medical facility, extra-curriculars etc. are all upto mark and as per industry specifications.
- Brand Value: “Brand matters” i got to realize while pursuing MBA and it could be a game changer at times. It also reduced social risk, psychological risk, functional risk as well as functioal risk for me which a brand owes to one.
Further, smart work is always dominating over hard work so it’s much needed to focus on learning incrementally day by day than to crib about the politics/transparency/salaries at any workplace. One needs to make their own way ahead and lead their career. Remember “you always appreciate your school/college and criticise your workplace”. So, it’s a never ending cycle and so, better look beyond to find solutions than to list problems.
