Day 8- Infosys
If I thought TATA was impressive, I was completely blown away by Infosys. Not only does their knowledge management system integrate just about everything other companies we've seen have been lacking, but the campus is fantastic! The company is listed in Forbes and from what I saw there it's comparable to Google. Gym, restaurants, games, a pool, flexible hours, bikes to get around campus, Infosys just looks like a great place to work. We'll be staying at their main campus in Mysore.
After Infosys we participated in a meet and greet with some other students in XIME. They had all finished their placements (companies come to schools to interview and hire students) so they're all set for jobs after graduation. I wish the US did that! In India, grad schools have to place every student in a job. We talked about a range of things, the snow back in the northeast, different parts of India, TV shows, and literature. It was fun and interesting but as an introvert all these lunches and meet and greets can be a bit tiring. I'll be an expert at small talk when I get back! Which is probably good, certainly getting out of my shell a bit.
I will say that it's odd to be aligned with a school I've never even been to. I'm completely online at SUNY Buffalo and part time as well so it's hard to talk about a school that I go to that I've never even stepped foot in. People keep thinking I live in Buffalo!
Here's an example of some of the awesome food we've been having:
