Working at HCL Technologies: 1,590 Reviews | Indeed.com

HCL is an IT Managed Services company so many of the decisions passed down are dictated by Contracts and Budget. I was fortunate to have a few amazing Reporting Managers, but the overall culture within HCL is toxic. They heavily monitor your activities on corporate PCs using productivity apps. If the apps don’t detect that you’ve been working for X hours you start getting emails about your lack of productivity regardless of how many actual hours you’ve been working or how much work you have been producing.

HCL seems to have developed a big brother complex over the past 3-4 years and it’s become exacerbated by the fact that a large portion of its workforce is still working from home due to Covid lingering around.
