A Guest in Sunnyvale
I’ve been in Sunnvale, at the headquarters of Savi Technology, Inc., for the past three days. My visit coincides with the Singapore Engineering team and we’re here for a week. My schedule is filled with meetings and discussions, but it was a wonderful opportunity to meet new faces in the office as well.
It was such a pleasure to travel with a company with a proper travel budget. A decent hotel (Four Points Sheraton), a mid-sized car and meal allowances that don’t limit my meals to takeaways - a great improvement from the stringent policies at GridNode.
It has been three hectic days of meetings, one after another. The schedules are made worse because the end of the workday here coincides with the morning in Singapore. That practically means that our meetings often drag into the early evenings to allow for participation from Singapore. The whole atmosphere of Savi was filled with a sense of purpose, such as I have never felt before.
