Life @ Directi
We Work Hard, We Play Harder!
My Friday nights are reserved for network gaming - and counter-strike is the flavor of the month. Additional activities include interest groups such as the trekking group, a movie club, a cricket league, a soccer league etc.

Life @ Directi
Flexible working hours
We are a creative organization with creative people, and I believe creativity does not start and end with an alarm clock. The best software engineers I know have their high days and low days, and flexible working hours account for this quirk.
