Rony Chacko Team Lead - QA

The Work I joined Pramerica in 2005 as Systems Tester. Three years hence, I am now a Team Lead for one of the IT teams. Each day is different from the previous one: new challenges, new issues to resolve and new targets to achieve. It seems daunting at first, but with the constant support I have from both my team members, my management and the support groups around me, I know I’m not alone. My work involves working closely with my team making sure that they have everything they need to get their tasks done. This would involve task or resource allocation, resolving infrastructure issues, managing customer expectations and defining team performance objectives. The role also includes budgeting, forecasting and ensuring that there’s sufficient work in the pipeline for the months ahead. In addition to catering to the needs of my own team, I also work closely with other team leads and management on the some the larger objectives of the Company intended at upholding Pramerica’s mission.

The Culture The work culture at Pramerica is one of the best I’ve seen in my career. The company policies are structured around providing the employees with a good work life balance. Employee benefits include teleworking, educational assistance, employee share participation schemes, medical insurance and a pension plan. Having relocated to Ireland from a different country, the relocation benefits ensured that the transition was a smooth and an enjoyable experience. The company is multicultural. Pramerica’s diversity is celebrated through various events in office throughout the year.

Letterkenny Having relocated from a bustling city of millions, I was first worried that Letterkenny would be too quiet for me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Letterkenny has everything a city has to offer you, minus the traffic jams and the overcrowded streets. An office commute that used to take me an hour now takes only a few minutes. There’s plenty of housing options to choose from if you’re newly moving into town and you’re looking to buy or rent. The array of shopping centers is a hive of activity during weekends inviting residents from neighboring towns as well. If you fancy a quiet afternoon out, you can escape into the nearby heritage towns and national parks. And finally, there’s no better way to wrap up the evening than a visit to one of the local pubs or the nightclubs. Perhaps the most important gift that Letterkenny gives you is time. Letterkenny has something for everybody. Apply for a job like this
