Let me introduce you first to the HR responsible in my project, Alina Buzgar. She's from Romania. She came to India 2 years ago just like me now as an intern. Now she's officially employed in the company. She's an amazing person, very helpful, and a great guide for Bangalore and India in general.
So Alina asked me and Eduardo to volunteer in a giving a session she is giving for one of the teams in TCS. It was a session talking about cultures and cultural differences and it was more in form of a game. Alina was the one conducting the session of course, Eduardo took the role of the judge, and I was the score keeper.
When I entered the office everyone was very quite and concentrating in their work. I took the impression that this game would be taken very seriously by the employees. The session started with a few movies on cultural differences and then the games began. Those quite employees turned into 10 year old children filled with enthusiasm and energy to win!! The amount of energy in that office was amazing that I even feared we might loose control upon them!! Yet it went very well and everyone was great!!
It was a great session that everyone enjoyed!! I personally got to learn from it that the differences in cultures is overwhelming. Even the similarities are. You can even find differences in team cultures within the same company. It is great learning how to cope with all this and blend in each culture whenever necessary.
Mee3o over and out ;)
