Preetinder's eight months at Opera

I joined Opera on 1st November 2008. It was such a great moment of my life. I had just returned from the United States after completing Masters in Software Engineering and thereafter doing a couple of jobs spanning a year. I was looking for a position that would promote intellectual growth and be commensurate with my skills and educational background. I started in Opera as a QA Engineer. Its India office has hard working employees who strive to grow along with the organization. We have a supportive working environment with a vision, where ideas can be heard and the paycheck serves as a bonus, not a primary motivator.Very soon the new interns started their training while I chose to work on an ongoing project.
I have informal meetings with my colleagues to find out how the company works and to gain insight into the culture of the company. This way I continue to appreciate Opera's confidence in me as well as support of my colleagues in the India and Oslo office.
It is enjoyable to see movies and have dinner every Thursday evening
Indeed it is a home away from home what with a packed kitchen, clean rooms and our Country Manager's directions to have our office up-to-date with new systems and a very well-equipped conference room. Well, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! We at Opera are constantly engaged in sports activities like cricket and trips to cinemas 
. It is so enjoyable!
My work has been very interesting and professionally satisfying. When our Project Manager came to India, I tried to find out more about the work, its quality and the output expected from me and developed good relations with my Manager. The interaction with the Managers and Opera employees who came to India on the "Bridge-the-world" program was good and fruitful.
Opera looks after its employees in many ways. Surely it is one such company which is growing even in times of recession. I am looking forward to an eventful career path in Opera and am confident about my strengths and skills.
My dictum: "It is better to have tried and lost rather than to have never tried at all".
