The office environment was good in san jose.
But most of the team members work from home.
Those guys in onsite work very hard and for long working hours. But equally they spend time during week ends and they have the liberty of working from home. And since they have blackberry they can travel during oncall so that they login only while they get alerts.
Advantage over there compared to working here is, whatever doubts you have or request you have we can get it clarified immediately directly from the onsite guys.
And we can attend meetings with all the teams and our teams. also meet the other team members and create good relationship.
breakout rooms are really good with pepsi and coke free and with some snacks.
other few breakrooms are there with fruits and varieties of corn flakes.
quite often we have some functions like chinese new year and other parties like st.patricks day organised in the office in a big hall organised with drinks and dinner or lunch.
we can get a experience of working with americans, chinese, russians etc.
