In ZestFinance, we do two things*:

1. Play Ping Pong
2. Give new engineers a starter project

What's a starter project? We don't hire based on list of buzzwords in a resume but on ability to learn. As a result, developers with no experience in Ruby and Rails are hired.

These developers need to ramp up quickly. So for a few weeks, a starter project is assigned to new developer for the chance to ramp up quickly to the new technologies.

This was my starter project.

*And we do more than these two things. Please see Zestfinance.
