Following-cause will be going to London in December

I stayed there. It was really nice, but the rooms are small. The lounge was big with free food and booze. We had a view of Big Ben and the London Eye (which is right there). It was convenient to walk everywhere from there. I was there with young kids so didn’t get the full fancy restaurant experience.

We stayed at westin london city, great location with many restaurant options in Borough Market (walking distance from the hotel). Hotel is new and had large rooms. All London attractions were a very short taxi drive away.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
