"My journey as a Technical Lead in the Cloud COE has been marked by significant professional and personal growth. Working on HPC on cloud and earning the Pinnacle Award were defining moments of liberation for me. The autonomy and trust I receive from my mentor and colleagues allow me to set clear goals, innovate freely, and remain open to feedback. This supportive environment has been crucial in shaping my career. Equally important is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My daily routines, like early morning walks and taking the stairs, along with regular breaks and vacations, help me stay rejuvenated and focused. This holistic approach ensures sustained productivity and happiness, making me truly ""Free in My Job."

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions! The recruitment process is stage in which you can learn a lot about our company, its culture, your future project etc. so try to make it to the fullest. Be prepared with a list of questions before the first contact with the recruiter and before the interview. Listen carefully to the information that we share with you. Some of your doubts might be lifted but new questions may appear in your mind. You don’t have to wait with your questions until the end of the meeting, make it a lively conversation. This will show your interest and proactivity.”

Harjeet Singh
Associate General Manager - HR
"It’s been quite a beautiful journey of transition and growth. In my short period in the organization, it wasn't a single moment but a series of experiences of learnings, responsibilities and growth on a personal note where I felt the shackles of rigid structures loosen. I discovered setting realistic goals, boundaries and priorities. Some days, work demanded more attention, while others called for some respite. Finding harmony meant being intentional with my time, carving out pockets of joy amidst the hustle. Embracing autonomy, cultivating trust, and honoring the delicate dance between work and life. With each step, we find ourselves free in our journey, flourishing in the boundless expanse of our professional realm."
Jyoti Shankar Jena
"In my role as an embedded tester, I am valued not only for my work in detecting defects or bugs but also recognized as a crucial asset for the team who is capable of significantly contributing to our collective success. Autonomy helps me make my own decisions, where I get to explore new ideas and work on them. Trust from my clients and colleagues gives me more responsibility, thereby encouraging me to give my best when it comes to work I always try to finish high-priority tasks first to avoid last minute stress. Our team members regularly take turns and organize games and activities within our team to reduce stress and improve overall productivity and collaboration.I try to stay focused as much as possible during my work time so that I can get some time for myself after work."
