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.

My sincere thanks to Mr. Giridhar and Mr. Madhan Kumar who helped me a lot and for giving me enough time to make it an R&D success, finally we were able to connect and play all the devices (Digital camera, Finger Print scanner and Signature capture pad). That learning experience is helping me a lot in my career.
