[Resolved]  HCL Technologies Bpo Services — Remember! This is the company that sucks!!

I would like to narrate my real life experience with this company!

I joined the company on 15th December 2008, had undergone Voice & Accent Training under Ms Richa Sharma, successfully cleared the assessment but unfortunately I was a part of the group who could not be absorbed in any Process and hence we were asked to leave the company on 21st January 2009.At the time of leaving, we were told by our concerned HR Mr Sriram Bhagat that our Full and Final payment (which includes the salary for the entire 1 month and 6 days that I worked for HCL)will reach us positively within 20 days. Unfortunately nothing came by the promised time period and whenever we used to call Mr Bhagat, we used to get a standard reply like that of a voice recording machine that the process is getting completed within next 1 week and hopefully we will get a call from HCL to collect our F & F cheque. Needless to say that at the time of writing this review I am still waiting and nothing has materialised even after 3 months of submitting my forced resignation.

I am really amazed to note that a petty F & F payment needs so much time to get processed by a company who has built a goodwill throughout the globe over the last 30 years for its HR practices. Also the company is headquartered in Noida itself, hence any possible delay in courier is also ruled out. In my previous company which is also an equally world renowned brand, Times Of India, where I worked for a total period of 6 years, my full and final was processed from Mumbai and I had received both the cheques of my F & F as well as my Provident Fund within 30 days of my date of relieving.

I am also shocked to know that nobody has any clue regarding the above matter and everybody directs me to Mr Sriram Bhagat who is a bloody Voice recording machine to us to say the least. In fact I personally visited their N2 centre and met Mr Vijay Pratap Singh who was my recruiter but it seems apparently that he was also clueless in this regard and we have to rely entirely on the whims and fancies of Mr Bhagat.

I am still in contact with some of my colleagues who were also forced to submit their resignation on that fateful night, and some of them are still struggling to get a decent job till date, and they are finding it real difficult to mange their daily household expenses as most of them are outstation candidates.

I have already written a stern warning to one of their senior HR person Mr Amit Bhandari that if my pending dues are not resolved within the next fortnight, I would be forced to take help from my previous employer The Times Of India.Since I have worked with them for last 6 years, it would take me one day to go to the Business Times editorial and publish the entire story which would not only expose the harsh reality of the company’s HR policies but it would tarnish the so called rosy picture that the company portrays in front of the corporate world. Unfortunately Mr Bhandari also seems to be a mute spectator to our problems in spite of being from the HR and I am yet to get a reply from him in this regard.

I am writing this review in order to make all those youngsters, many of those who might be thinking of starting their career with this company, aware of the harsh realities of this apparently world renowned Indian MNC. This is a serious messege from somebody who has already fallen prey to this worthless company, Pl do not be lured by the flashy advertisements of this company, aired on TV, think again before joining there!! Also can somebody be kind enough to take me out of these doldrums!!!
