			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A different form of curriculum design of some leading grad schools in India helped us a lot while we were beginning to grow fast. The curriculum required that students spend six months working for an organization. We got some of the best talent and the students saw that our growth was rapid yet structured and disciplined. </p>
<p>A good number of those students are growth drivers at Kuliza today.</p>
<p><strong>Bringing Trainees In</strong></p>
<p>With trainees you have a set of bright, energetic, talented but impressionable minds. They present a huge opportunity for organizations to present themselves in front of fresh pass-outs of undergrad and grad programs. Trainees are given to communicating more frequently to their peers in other companies. This is where comparisons between what is perceived as the culture of a corporation are rife.</p>
<p>At Kuliza, we ensure that the trainees feel that they have a college environment after college. They feel that they are with friends. We don’t have to work hard for that. With all the bean bags, easy chairs et al that are anyway a part of our development center, we always have that young and peppy feel about our office.</p>
<p>What is important is that the trainees learn certain things together. Soft skill programs, personality tests, group dynamic exercises and team building assignments are conducted with gusto and lapped up with greater enthusiasm. The practice of learning from your peers and the Kuliza truism that your boss is really your friend, philosopher and guide is brought into action.</p>
<p><strong>Creating Great Corporate Citizens</strong></p>
<p>In molding trainees not only do we creating great resources for us, we also create many Kuliza brand ambassadors. We know that in doing small things right with our trainee and trainee mentorship program, we are shaping the future in a big way.</p>
<p>We believe in creating great technologists, great innovators and great business people from the raw talent that we hire. We have been seeing our efforts materialize. It is immensely satisfying and urges you to go on and do more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hiring from grad schools is a great experience. You come across students of a variety of hues. </p>
<p>There are students who are just concerned about ‘cracking’ that tough test that we administer to screen talent. There are others who read up every word of our website and all associated terms and are full of questions during our pre-placement talks and in interviews. Then there are the geeks who have their notions about how we should run our business. And there are also those mavericks who do not know care to know our name or business even when they fill the auditorium where we introduce ourselves.</p>
<p>We love all of them. A good number of us were like a good number of them. So, we tell ourselves that if could come this long a way and still see a great road ahead, we can be reasonably sure that all these undergrad and grad students have the spark in them that will help us and our clients grow.</p>
<p><strong>Simple Process </strong></p>
<p>We respect the process the institution lays out for us. It has been a grand company introduction in some renowned grad schools and talking to a large body of students. In some places it has also been setting up a stall and conversing one on one with students.</p>
<ol>
<li>Students who sign-up for our placement process have to take a test. This test is usually pretty tough. It rewards a sound knowledge of fundamentals and quick and accurate, multi-dimensional thinking</li>
<li>The test is a screen. We then talk to a short-list of students. These talks can run into multiple rounds – three, five or in some cases seven.</li>
<li>Each set of rounds creates a short-list till we get to the final list.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>What do we look for?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>We look for what students have done in their academics and related activities</li>
<li>We look for well-rounded personalities. So great extra-curricular activities and great academics is a great combination</li>
<li>We also look for what the student can do – the potential, the drive, the energy, the team spirit, the creativity and more</li>
</ol>
<p>We look for people who can live with our motto of growing with our clients. We look for people who can grow with us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here you are ! All starry eyed and raring to go. Your interviewers told you that Kuliza Technologies has emerged as the overall fourth in the Deloitte Fast 50 Technology India program and also the fastest growing offshore software product development company in India as per Deloitte’s rankings. </p>
<p>Now you are seated at the reception and wondering what would life at Kuliza be.</p>
<p><strong>Simple, Breezy Paperwork</strong></p>
<p>Our joining formalities are simple. We have tested your professional integrity in our rigorous process. Therefore, after we have collected some absolutely essential information, the rest of the paper work is a breeze.</p>
<p><strong>Making You Feel Easy</strong></p>
<p>There is a lot of buzz about you even before you join. Your team is eager to meet you. You have a buddy assigned – let’s call her Sarah. Sarah shall show you your workplace, ensure that the admin team has your machine and office desk ready, that you have a Skype ID, your ID card and that you are fully acquainted with our internal processes and portals. We have simple shared processes.</p>
<p><strong>Easy at Work</strong></p>
<p>Our work processes are strict. That is expected because a host of Fortune 500 companies run software products, which we build for them, on our own servers. That calls for some product engineering discipline. Sarah tells you about all of that so that you can instantly feel a part of the vibrant software product development culture at Kuliza.</p>
<p><strong>Easy All Round</strong></p>
<p>Team Kuliza calls office a home away from home. A well stocked cafeteria, sports, bean bags to flop on a discuss designs, write code and relax – Sarah and your team members show you all of this. Our CEO, Anand shares his vision for Kuliza with you.</p>
<p>At Kuliza we have a shared vision. We expect you to contribute to this vision and build upon it further. That calls for a lot of ownership and responsibility and promises tremendous opportunities for growth. Welcome to Kuliza !</p>
