• It will be a cold day in hell, before I even think about moving into management, havent sunk that low 😛

    Just found out that the client I am working for atm, has just outsourced to HCL. The sense of impending doom is approaching.

    Checking them out on the net. I find some interesting quotes from their CEO

    "When questioned about his firm's US hiring, Information Week reports that Vineet Nayar, the CEO of the Indian outsourcing giant HCL Technologies, showed he can stereotype with the best of them, telling an audience in NYC that most American tech grads are 'unemployable.' Explaining that Americans are far less willing than students from developing economies like India, China, and Brazil to master the 'boring' details of tech process and methodology, the HCL chief added that most Americans are just too expensive to train. HCL, which was reportedly awarded a secretive $170 million outsourcing contract by Microsoft last April, gets a personal thumbs-up from Steve Ballmer for 'walking the extra mile.' Ballmer was busy last week pitching more H-1B visas as the cure for America's job ills at The National Summit."

    I have also seen another quote from this CEO, saying 'Americans suck at IT'.

    I have also seen a post on these forums, where someone has said that their developers are terrible 😛

    My contract renewal is up in 7 weeks, if they try and force me to sign with HCL. It will be time for this old soldier to move on and find another battlefield 😛

    anyone else had dealings with HCL, love to hear your experiences.
