It’s been almost 2 months since I have left the independent life to become a full time employee. I have found a small consulting company that shares most of the personal goals that I have in mind. This company name is Halcyon. The main message is “to seek happiness for our customers and employees”.
Before entering into negotiations with them, I thought they were just another consulting company. However, after meeting with the owner of the company and see his passion for charity work I’ve change my mind.
obligated encouraged to do community service. As a good citizen, you are to do the right thing for others. You know that, and I know that. But, when that command comes from the owner of the company, it trickles down to the all of the employees, and you can feel the effect.
Of course there are other perks like YOGA classes every other week. (which I have yet to attend one… ;) So, in short, Halcyon is trying to bring a balance between your work and your personal life. The fulfillment that comes from helping others is very different than the one you get when you get your paycheck.
Mohan latest project is to help integrate war veterans back into IT. Not just office work training, but actual programming training.! I am just happy to be a part of this initiate of giving back to those that put their lives in danger for us. If all of us took the time to do a good deed every day, the world would be a different place…
Another aspect that I enjoy is the dogfood. We are not only preaching SharePoint, but our CEO firmly believe in this technology. We have BPOS as the technology for our intranet connecting both of our offices (US, India). Also our website is built on SharePoint (soon to be SharePoint 2010). Find out if your company uses SharePoint or just claiming to use SharePoint how to tell if a site is running SharePoint?
In all I am excited to start a new phase in my life and in my professional career.
