    3. HR Screen
    4. Resume & Documentation Review
    5. Human Call
    6. Nerd Call
    7. The guys elaborate on their “two to say yes; maybe means no” policy.
    8. Frank would rather BS an answer to the question “what is your greatest weakness,” than slit his wrists for Gavin Belson.
    9. Chris really pushes to make technical interviews conversational, rather than straight Q & A.
    10. Frank’s team is now doing pair programming in their interviews… and it sounds hella cool.
    11. The guys have GREAT bars in their marketing collateral.
    12. Chris’ team has added a final panel interview wherein the hiring manager leaves before it’s over - genius or crazy? You decide.
    13. The guys agree - again - that Javascript is awful. Especially on the server.
    14. Frank makes his second promise in as many weeks and Chris objects emphatically.
    15. … and much more!

      16. Don’t be shy! Reach out at [email protected].
