Even after just over a month here, the differences between working for a small company and a big one are profound. There is no security in reception for example; in fact there is no reception desk. I have not had to wear a ‘visitor’ badge for the first week until having my photo taken and a proper keycard made up. Instead I got keys to the front door and the alarm code on day 1.
I do not get bombarded with emails about how department X has developed a new process for handling work requests. Getting some software added to my PC does not involve a paragraph of justification, two layers of authorisation and three weeks lead time. Instead I asked the ‘IT Services’ guy – one of only two – to install Firefox. Two hours later, job done!
About Me
- Quiller
- With more than 20 years experience in IT in the Financial Services industry, I have been managing projects since 2000. The things I enjoy most about this job are that no two days are the same, I am constantly learning new things, and I get immense satisfaction from implementing a project successfully. It is my hope that this Blog will entertain you, inform you and at least make you think a little. I would appreciate any comments you have on any related topic.
