Ground work...

I work for a Software Company located in Pune, and no its not the one run by an indian, as a matter of fact i was working for an indian IT company a few years back, was plain fed up of the office politics that existed there and i quit... have never been happier.

The company that i am presently employed in is one swell employer, great pay, good decent CODING work, conducive work environment, flexible timings and a great group of peers who make working here a breeze... (if only my friends felt the same abt me :))

Agreed that my company does not invest in infrastructural flamboyance (here after referred to as IF) as some Indian IT cos, it is a good sign as i am assured discreetly that i would be working as a software engineer as long as i am with the company.

My greatest fear with the company that invests in "I.F." is that some day when the second generation takes control of the administration, they might actually turn the company into a hotel (hotels rake in abt 700% of profit, much more than what is possible in IT) and with campuses in almost all states of India...Wohooo... its Sea food instead of C and MSM (Mysore Masala) instead of MSN (the messenger).

The employees are retained... where in the world would they find so many fresh talents... (where even 2 live KT's could get u into the company). Only the course in the Leadership Institute (IL) changes. the employees also retain their designation... an SE would remain an SE, only the meaning changes SE now is "Sambhar Expert" the other designations follow suit. (NOTE to self: You tangent off Exceptionally well).

So now that my worst fear is taken care of, i get to code in an environment that is not only friendly but also caters to my overall growth and guess what... i also get to blog about it.. not in my working hours though..

Now for My peers who would be holding the center stage in this blog one at a time, i dont really know how many episodes will be written but i plan to begin with the intorduction and overall characteristics of each one of them and then increase the gamut to cover them all in one single work environment. we would also have guest-appearances from projects across, but they would be introduced as and when they come.

So heres setting the stage for a great performance...
