Rooster Teeth is Hiring Web Devs. - Thoughts


Film production company and Internet presence, Rooster Teeth Productions recently posted about the company looking for web developers. A company I have been following for a few years now and obviously I would jump at the opportunity to apply. Their application process was definitely the best thing ever.

All we had to do  was to clone a repository posted on GitHub and get it working. The rest would be clear after that. It certainly was. Obviously I'm not going to give any answers out here. It's a real test of your analytical skills, understanding of the languages and frameworks presenting, and your drive and motivation to learn and pick up new material. It also helps them as a company to only get applicants who meet their criteria by actually getting the repository to work. Really great idea to go about it.

I was reading some comments of how people finished in within 45 minutes to an hour. Some took over that. I spent about 5 hours over 2 days just to get it done. Most of the time was trying to learn and understand the framework they were using and a lot of trial and error with the code to find the buggy areas. It honestly was such a relief to get it done, but I felt a little disappointed it took so long to finish, but learning as you go really is time consuming.

It was a lot of fun and I certainly want to continue learning the languages and frameworks they're using there. It makes no sense to just finish the application and not continue to learn what they're doing. It wouldn't make me a very good hire.
