I remember reading – ‘whenever a smart engineer joins Google, a startup dies somewhere’. I am happy to have dissuaded a few good guys from committing such a cardinal sin :^)

Welcome Vamsi, Praveen & Ajith.

The ‘great team’ risk

On June 30, 2010, in Althea, by kishore
View Comments

At Althea, we believe, in taking strategic risks as a startup. We like to lead rather than follow, we always make aggressive forecasts/plans and have a dynamic product line.

Risk of not taking any risks

We are building our team from the best and brightest. We understand that good people are expensive, and they are hard to find, which adds risk to our startup, but it’s a strategic risk. Lowering the risk by hiring the cheapest, we believe is a bigger risk.

Do visit our careers page & write to us (careers@altheasystems.com) if you ever felt like being part of such a team.

Yes, we are hiring Ruby hackers. For us to believe we should call you, answer a few questions.

Let’s start with a simple one. Give us the inheritance hierarchy of the object referred to by the constant ‘Hw’ in hw.rb shown below:

=== “hw.rb” start ===

class Hw

  def hello
    "hello"
  end

  def self.world
    "world!"
  end

end

=== “hw.rb” end ===
