Ramanan Subbiah | Product Consultant / Cognizant Worldwide LTD, United Kingdom
I joined SIERRA as a fresher and worked for 3 years. I have no doubt in saying that the foundation of my IT career was laid at SIERRA. I met some of the best people who helped me understand the real workings of the IT world. SIERRA provided me with the opportunity to work with a team of intelligent professionals and also to work in all areas of software development including designing, coding (front-end and back-end), testing and deployment. I doubt any fresher would get an opportunity like this in any other big software company. I also got my first onsite opportunity in Malaysia for implementation & UAT. That was a great experience. To be working and be a part of SIERRA was such a wonderful, life-changing experience. I made lifelong friendships with some of my colleagues at SIERRA. I’m so happy and grateful for this opportunity.

That learning experience is helping me a lot in my career.
