Dream..?? Nightmare?? ……Experienced review.

Hi all,

As promised in one of my previous posts , here is the revised review on TCS Siruseri. I am afraid that I have to take back many sentences that I have mentioned in my previous post. Being here for almost more than 1 month, I feel that I am definitely eligible person to talk about the pros and cons of it.

The Travel:

The buses start from almost all the places in the city at around 7′Oclock in the morning to reach here at 8.30. Those who can sleep in the bus, can continue they journey in the dreams after a short break. No matter the time you started at home, you will reach there by 8.30 sharp. And in the evening the buses are taking more time because of the traffic in the city. Even though they take different routs, depending on the traffic on that particular day, you will reach home by maximum of 8.00 clock. That’s your EOD.

The ambience and workplace:

My first impress on the building (EB4 ie., the fourth building of all 6) is simply “WOWWWWWWWW”. For one minute I felt like “Am I in india??”. But then, some other things like people speaking in Tamil, etc., made me realize that I am in India. The shape of the building looks as if a Big Butterfly is guarding you from SUN and Rain standing on the top. The combination of all the 6 block’s look like a Very BIG butterfly and individually each one looks like the same. Almost all the side walls are covered with a very strong glass which will not brake even if 3-4 elephants try to perform a dance rock show on it. The quadrant is simply superb, more spacious with all nice sceneries around. Every one is provided with an individual desk with key for it.

Canteen and Coffee shops:

The primary caterer in the siruseri canteen are SODEXHO. As it is a known brand for catering, every one thought that it will be more delicious than RKHS (the caterer at my previous office). But in reality, I have to show my thumb down. . The food provided by SODEXHO is really bad and I really can not eat that. But hope fully, they setup a third party Juice shop by ICE CAP, which is very nice.

ICE CAP’s have got a good chance to grab the customers by making a real good juice varieties. Of all the items which I tried over there, I love MAGIC MANGO, and COCKTAIL EXOTICA. So, these days I was almost having juices instead of food in the after noon. Guys…..don’t be so pity that I am not having lunch properly. Just visit the nearest ICE CAP shop and research on the quantity of the items.

We have three cofeeshop’s by three different companies. But all of them are bad. Some of the items there are really good like samosa etc.,

Work culture and the value of Time:

The work culture is very good and people have come to know the real importance of time now. Gone are the days where you always have ANYTIME FACTOR all the way in your daily professional life.

ANYTIME FACTOR:

1. “you can come to office at any time“
2. “You can go to play TT or Shuttle at any time“
3. “You can leave office any time depending on your work.(* Conditions apply)”
4. “You can stay back late in the office if you have an important task to finish.”
5. “If you want to do some personal work, go at any time , complete the work. Come back to office and work.”

But here, there no scope at all for this ANYTIME factor. You have to come at 9 in the morning and have to leave at 6 in the evening. No personal work, no table tennis. So, if you stand at the entrance at 5.40PM, you will see people running with hurry to catch the busses. In that hurry, nobody will care of what’s going around.

Health and food timings:

When I was working in my previous office, as I have more flexible timings I use to sleep at around 1.00 clock in the night and wake up at 10.00 in the morning. Due to this I generally use to skip my breakfast which is inevitable. But here, I am taking my diet in the exact timings.

Morning 8.30 : breakfast

Afternoon 12.30 : Lunch

Evening 4.00 : Coffee.

Night 8.30 : Dinner

With all the above schedule, I am not finding time to go GYM.

So, I would like to list down all the PLUS points and Minus Points from my perspective.

Plus points:

1. I am able to take the food on time, which is good for my health.
2. I am coming to room by 7.40 in the evening and then cook whatever I want.
3. I started working very efficiently and am able to meet all deadlines on time.

Minus Points:

1. The food is not good here.
2. No more table tennis and Shuttle.

Catch you soon with more interesting articles.

Until then
