^ I am forwarding my profile to you :lol:.

Please tell them to quadraple my salary in 2.5 years too, I'd be more than happy :lol:.
 
^^ me too standing in the queue :)

The company (MNC) I currently work for is a major product (software) developer (Windows and Mac) in the Publishing industry.

Just a random thought...Isn't a TCS or an Infy more of a MNC than an American firm with 1 or 2 offshore development center(s) in India?

For some funny reason, the term MNC carries an exalted halo in the middle-class Indian Psyche...but it is not conferred onto our TCS/Satyam/Wipro/HCL and their ilk....weird, innit?

Amitabh in Deewar II: "Mere paas 1800 sqft ka Apartment hai, nayi Honda city hai, company given iPod aur MNC ki Naukri hai..tumhare paas kya hai?..."

heeheehee..i know it's a PJ...sorry for boring whoever bothered to read this
 
Wow, way to go Lord Nemesis, really good job....

BTW, I thought it was Adobe when you said Windows/Mac publishing s/w :P

EDIT : While we are at it, Infy has just done it again, this time before anyone joined even. 10 days before the joining they have suddenly changed the joining from Mysore to Chandigarh :rofl: this is after nearly everyone I know whos going to join Infy had booked the air tickets :rofl:
 
^Freshers travel by air these days??

People in our times used to travel by bullock carts for joining their new jobs , as they were very poor (that inclused me) :(.
 
Well the tickets cost then 2750 a pop so not much trouble there, besides now a days it just doesnt make sense to go by train for 36 hours when a plane will take 3. Also, train tickets especially Rajdhani et al get prebooked like 3 months in advance these days.
 
The company I work for isnt an IT giant... :P

I hv decent pay...just enuf work...:D cool drinks/tea/coffee whenever I want :hap2: ...free lunch and snacks and breakfast :D ....full internet access...gaming access...movie access..;) and a free will...well almost :cool2:

:ohyeah:

lol... any company with registered offices in aleast two different countries can be officially called an MNC. Anyways in the case of my company MNC does not mean much, even though the company is US based with offices in more than a dozen countries, the bulk of the Development/QE is in India and a small part in US. Rest are all marketing and sales offices.

Yes, we too have all those facilites except for gaming access (atleast not officially :ashamed:). Thats the beauty of working at such a place. :D
 
I work for the research wing of the world's largest software company (any guesses? :rofl:). The best part about it is I do what I like, when I like with whom I like where I like :P. My work is completely mine and no one else pokes their noses into it. All I need to do is keep my manager aware of what I'm doing. Potentially everyday can be a holiday as long as it does not have any demos/guest visits/meetings :rofl:. Pay and benefits the best in the industry and so is the work environment ;). Does it get any better :P.

Err...Do you mind if I ask where you work? Looks like a nice place to add to my apply-to list.

Anyway, I get free internet, cheap accomodation & food. We have a huge movie collection on the network. We get to learn new stuff and there is a lot of encouragement for crazy projects. I didnt even have to pay for the materials to make my waterblock :P And I get paid to do all this. Ofcourse, we work our a$$ off too. All-nighters are common and bed time is around 3am. Its nice to be a student :)

Oh shoot! We have a lot of those, but they are nice.

Ever came to MS Hyderabad(Gachibowli??)

My office is just a mile ahead of yours :P (In distance I meant :P).
 
OMG... see this. So appropriate

Bored in office? Try this! - FunEnclave

As for me, I am still a student and I cant WAIT to get into the real world. In spite of hearing all these rants and stuff, I cant wait.

My engineering life has been so bad, I wonder how can it get worse :P

Of course, I will sure as hell not be joining any IT company.

1). I dont like coding, programming.

2). I havent really heard many good opinions abt the work conditions.

3). Even if I wanted to, with my marks, no one would give me a job :rofl: :rofl: . So, it does look like the story of the fox and sour grapes. But trsut me it isnt. If I was eligible for placements, I would have preferred a core mechanical company which have very decent pay and for me, the work is interesting.

@Saurav --- As DC said, start preparing for CAT/GMAT, etc.... you have loads of time.

I also read in one of those "inspirational" things that if you didnt have any work to do in your office, it is a sign that your office can do without you and if anybody has to be sacked, it might be you :P

Be careful with that guy !! I went with him once, he told me "dont worry, no cops". And I didnt wear the helmet. We promptly got caught by cops and had to pay 100/- fine.... :rofl:

Anyway Sunny is in Bangalore now... he keeps wanting to meet, but I have my exams going on and cant :(

And Masky.... Well, he never lets anyone pay !! He took me to Cubs and he didnt let me pay. He did the same to Vince and Saiyan.... Now, all you freeloaders, make a beeline for Mysore :rofl: :rofl:

Honestly, he is a gem. Deepak, you'll really be missing out on a lot if you dont get assigned to Mysore.
 
To be honest , your mileage in a big IT co will vary considerably. there are folks who are very happy, partially happy, and some who are very pissed. Folks @ my office work on everything from embedded system drivers in linux to lingerie catalogs :P
 
Thank God

Luckily, I am doing intern in a company which has facilities well except the sites blocking problem. That, I think is blocked in most of the companies as well.

And to add to all of this, the team is just wonderful.
