An year back...leave alone...three months back...if someone said I would up end up in Suntec, I would have been laughing my ass of!
Not that I am in it completely...signed the papers (Even a stamp paper! My first ever!) and got my appointment letter...
Vallathil oru kaal chavitti...avarenne full aayittu pidichu akathu idumo atho vellathil thalli idumonnu kandariyaam!
These three days were the induction programme...to be frank I expected boring lectures...but got some precious insight into the company and any good product company in general.
First day was intermittent discussions with mega breaks for tea, lunch etc...
AC conference hallil irunnu thanuthu boradichu...none of us could get the AC controls right...Pinne spent times kathiyadi and playing with the swivel chair! Nalla rasamaanu aadan! :P
14 of us joined that day. 3 of us for technical writing, 10 as software engineers and 1 lady as HR. One of the software guy was rejoining and was somehow made to sit with us in the first day. He wasn't there the second day, so 13 of us...reminds of the last supper...will I be the Christ? :P
8 girls and 5 guys. One of the guy was in our class in MCET before the first reallotment. His name in Krishnakumar.
This batch is kinda unique that all are Malayalees...almost all others had north indians in them.
And speaking of which...there are a lot of Northies here...and our COO is British. He was on leave this week, so we didn't get to meet him. Saw the induction sheet of an earlier batch and in that he was mentioned for a session.
Sessions were very good...but some made me sleepy mainly because its ages since I sat in a class...5 minutes into Quality Assurance session and I got a fine grasp of CMMI. Earlier had mugged up and thought it in a different manner.
Most of the session takers (if not all) are the top people here. Some sessions where terrific like consulting, marketing, implementation (the second implementation session was very hot! :D ;) )
Today and the first day was at Kuravankonam and yesterday was at Technopark. We are at Nila. (Sulu, we are neighbours!) Now on its three weeks product training at the new Knowledge Center in Vazhuthacaud. We are the first batch in that facility. This will be over by October 6th. After that our posting will be at Technopark.
Training is very interesting. No classroom sessions. Training will be same for all of us, tech writers and software dudes. A complete study of the various products. Then on it will be hands on training for all of us. Seems to be much better than the boring and pretty useless classroom sessions.
Software guys would absolutely rock here. They get to work on some great stuff and never have to sit in a bench.
Food is pretty good at the Kuravankonam canteen. The veg pulao on day one sucked. But today's food was great. A little expensive though. But we dont get to eat here anymore :(
A security from my school is working here now. He is a pretty cool guy. Not sulky like other security people.
Now on its a hectic time for me. Suntec pretty stringent about Internet usage from office. Will get a better idea only after we join. It seems my nocturnal life would never really end! :D
Rock on people! God bless everybody!
