    Based in Birmingham (and later, Coventry…) in the UK, Ariel used to make bicycles, motorcycles and cars. The company was actually formed way back in 1847 but went through some bust-revival-bust-again cycles. They made their first powered tricycle in the year 1898, and started making motorcycles in 1901, the first being fitted with a 211cc single-cylinder Minerva engine.While Ariel did go on to make many other motorcycles –...

    The first time I heard about “saunagondola ski lift” I thought it must be a joke, but like  so many times before I was wrong. The Saunagondola turned out to be a damn cool innovation and a real ski tourist magnet. I wanted to know more about this weird innovation, so I performed.

Dont worry be happy

Yuku is hiring again

What follows is example of our interview process for yuku developers, if you think you can do it, apply by messaging me :)
P.S. Put your volume down if you are at work.


Step 1. Screening/elimination interview

As part of screening interview we ask you to accomplish few simple tests and show us your abilities. If you didgreat and impressed interviewer, we will call you for a second interview. If not, well, you will see... Please note that tie and white shirt are not optional.Here is an example of what those simple tests might look like:

Step 2. Second interview

Now if you do get a second call from our HR department and with that a second interview, we will increase the height of a testa bit. It is our simulation of developer meeting deadline estimated by marketing people without having specs or QA support. It does last bit longer then firstinterview - usually we will ask you to devote whole day to it. This is what that looks like, you will be watching Oleg (our JavaScript developer) at the timehe passed the second round. Pay close attention to little hidden messages, you will be asked about them later in the process.

Step 3. Top 10 elimination

As you have seen, not everybody gets a pass score on the second interview, and some people stay behind. But those that domake it, get into what we call the top 10 group. At that point Dan, our senior Linux kernel developer (that is taking easy time these days,but still participate in interviewing process) takes them through just a small formality. If you are being interviewed during winter period you can ignore,"over the river test" scene (our way to test ability to debug OO code), however other tests are required regardless of the season. Click on playbelow to see example of what you will be asked to do:

Step 4. Sternness test for long meetings with biz dev

It goes without saying that step 3. usually eliminates 7 and leaves us with top 3 candidates, literally. But we still need tonarrow list down to one. Since, during our meetings and crucial decisions making processes we require total focus and uncompromising attitude we test you forserious dialog ability. This is example of candidate that failed our last test, although he was showing very promising results in first 3 steps.

Most Rewarding Job in the Internet Industry

We admit, it is a bit challenging interview process, but it does come with THE Reward. What you will see next is what does typical developer's working week in the Yuku looks like. Guy on the right without mustache and umbrella is called Jack. Jack is our project manager and is carrying huge responsibility of setting priorities and assigning tasks to our team members. Watch carefully, since it will not be explained to you twice.

Dont read section: in small letters, so boring that only lawyers read it, they have to:
P.S. All of the people above have my deepest respect and that is only reason why I am using these videos. Do not try to do this at home, your celling is probably not high enough. Also this profile has nothing to do with me, our non-existing HR department (we are yet to come up with interviewing process forthem) or anything else related to anything :).I tried hard to read your mind and figure out which music you like, I give up. create your own here. Use keyboard so mix it.

Who am I

My name is Ceco and I am Dev Lead at Yuku. If you have suggestions, comments or just want to rant for fun of it, please do message me. Both love and abuse is welcome :) I would love to hear about your ideas, needs you have and problems that we can solve for you and your communities.
It is your site after all, we are just writing the code.

Free at last

    Thought I'd leave you a thought provoking question that's about as deep as my toilet bowl.

    If a jogger ran at the speed of sound, could he still hear his MP3 player?
