I beleive that there are always some positives when you work at some place and its one's reponsibility to find that positive out rather than just growling at bad or less good things that happend around. People who want to live an ideal life in an ideal environment are mostly haunted by depression and end up with regrets. But those who try to improve things with positive minds come up with something near to the ideal.
I beleive that People rarely speak goodies about their current or ex employers. Though I am leaving the organization (eDev Technologies) where I worked for last one year but I think should describe what type of the place this has been for me how it would be for the people with experience and without any prior experience. What I have learnt here and how the exuberance and management acumen has bounced back for me is phenomenal. The people here are very co-operative and have shown great respect to their work and devoted to their work.
eDev Technologies has been a learning and grooming platform for me as far as my management skills are concerned. My ivolvemnt in the implementation of CMMi is one of the major things that I have learnt here. This is the thing that I think can serve as an excellent platform for anyone who is three to four years senior and looking to learn management skills related to IT industry.
Proper processes in place and being followed for projects is what I have seldom seen in Software houses in Pakistan. I remember the time when I started my career I was ebullient about my career and about the type of Job I was doing at that time but all my enthusiasm shattered when a cousin of mine (Who also used to be a Software engineer) came from Canada and started discussing about the processes. But I beleive that eDev has equally balanced and defined process and have a hunger to continuously improve in this direction as well. The process improvement is one of the things that has not just been taken care of much in Pakistani Software houses but eDev has taken the step further in this area. I strongly beleive that the CMMi implementation as being followed at eDev is remarkable.
When It comes to the employee care eDev is not behind as well. In Pakistan I have rarely seen employer thinking in that direction as well. The type of investment made just on chairs is exemplary. For last five years I have seen that the employers and project managers in Pakistani IT industry hire women in cases when they dont have any other choice. But as far as eDev technologies is concerned it is really an equal opportunity employer.
Leaving such a great place and good ambience is what hurts me at the last day here but I think this is al part of life. I think that now I will be part of spectators seeing eDev growing and emerging as an excellent process oriented. What I am taking away from eDev is a bunch of beautiful memories and the respect earned here. I wish that the company grows more and more stronger day by day.
