Creative people require tools and environment which foster their success. Here at pagalguy, we are about to take one more step towards that kind of ideal environment. For the developers [...]
Early this week we had a visitor, a batch-mate of deepu (code gawd) , who wanted to work at PG. He was put through the regular hiring process at PG – which works this way.
