@PG-aspirants: Guys, I agree PG is more of an informal setup, but it’s almost hilarious to see candidates getting this casual Would you guys try this with IBM or Google?

@PG-folk: I was checking your jobs page after a really long time (CAT season). The journo-blogger is still required, after all! Do we get second chances?

Anyway, I’ll probably send you guys “the mail” again in Dec, after giving CAT, just in case.

I was just scanning through the comments and I see some of them need some clarification.

@Vaibhav I personally got hired as a developer. And yes, I did not reply to any of you because I don’t want my inbox spammed with random forwards from people I don’t know (sorry about that).

Guys, they had a pretty high standards for evaluating candidates. Tell me how many of you have indexed your text matter before searching? (for developers) The answer to this question will probably tell you why didn’t get selected.

When you are building something as complex as a search engine think of things in a scalable way. the regular expression approach cannot sustain you in the long run.

@sanyukta you should have been a little more patient!

All the best everyone

@Vaibhav : As mentioned, offer was made to the best solution to the technical problem given to everyone. All the best.

@Sanyukta : We have all the rights to pass the judgements on our final selection and all the prerogative to be 200% sure before taking anyone.

@sanyukta, not sure if we made any offers to anyone for the marketing position.

@vaibhav, we have made offers for dev positions and the offers were accepted as well. Sorry you did not make it.
