Florida Facilities
Over this past week, I had been enrolled in the Orientation program for our Florida locations in the company. It was absolutly eye-opening: firstly the fascinating architecture, structure and the IT infrastructure and media solutions we have in our Global Technology & Information Center (GTIC). To name a few, the server room which makes the company the best/most desired 100 IT firm to work in (enough thought we are not an IT firm!); the over 120 security cameras, Hurricane/lightning-proof building; having a bunch of satellite dishes on top of our office building which monitors all broadcast and cable signals in the entire US territory, etc...Then, it was the satellite locations (surrounding our main campus in Oldsmar) - Venice, Weatherfield and Crystal Beach in Florida State. I visited our printing plant, editing center for diary measurement (a methodology we used in TV ratings), Call Center which handles over 6 millions calls this year so far...
There are a lot of new, interesting and amazing things I have been experiencing down here so far, in the sense that I would never picture when I sit in the Sales/Marketing office in New York City. Then of course, all sorts of practices (similarities & differences) we witnessed within our company in various locations - the norms, staff management and dedication towards the company. After seeing all these, I feel very much charged up for our upcoming challenges/rotation starting next Monday! In a few words, "I'm loving it! (being in the company and all the learning)"
