[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for an Indian company headquartered in a suburb outside of Delhi. I visited the office. It was a different set up in that I was a lead for a US client, then the Indian company secured a new larger contract, and hired me to stay on. So I had the historical information of the client. They gave me a nice increase and bonus to come work for them.

I was treated very respectfully. The company, even those outside of my assigned group worked very hard, and wanted to ensure the US client was 100% satisfied with the work. They were all very educated with advanced degrees. They worked long hours and were internally very competitive with each other. They collaborated for the client, but still played to the internal politics at headquarters. Security to get in and out of work was pretty advanced. They could not take laptops home or bring personal cell phones in. It was essentially a security protocol that I had only seen when my spouse worked at a secure DoD facility in the US.

After work they played hard as well. They all wanted me to go out and party.  I had a drink at dinner but was too tired by that point to go clubbing in my 30s. There was a big drinking culture and the only coworkers who had kids were in their late 30s early 40s. It's definitely looked down upon (in that specific group, I can't speak to the culture as a whole) to have kids young before your schooling is complete, and work well established.  I did not know the drinking age was so high. I think it's 25, but my memory may be off. [/quote]

I will say that one stereotype is 100% accurate. The Indian IT executive bros I worked with partied hard. And almost all of them drank Johnny Walker Black, exclusively. Regardless of the firm or location, a bottle of Black was to be had. It was constant. [/quote]

Yes, it is true but Johnny Walker Black is a cheap liquor. They can do better if they know quality but a lot of them are cheap. [/quote]
