A word of caution regarding Rentify: I had some email correspondence with their CTO, Buff, last year when they had previously advertised on a "Who is hiring?" thread here, as I was then looking for something new in London.
They asked me to complete a coding exercise, which I spent a Saturday afternoon doing ( https://github.com/jasonl/property_search )and submitted it to them, and then I did not hear back - not so much as a single email reply! - despite repeated follow-ups.
If you're a Rails coder in London, you can definitely do better than a company that treats prospective employees as disdainfully as this.
Jason, I'm so sorry for treating you disdainfully. June 22nd, the day you sent over your test, I moved from San Francisco to London full time. I assure you that you were the exception and not the trend as I don't always move across the world and sometimes emails slip through. Ask anyone who has applied at Rentify since. I take extra time out to ensure that candidates understand what Rentify is and what we can offer to employees in terms of career growth. I even wrote a few lengthy articles about it here: http://bufordtaylor.com/post/62455729428/how-we-interview-en...
To be fair, I thought that since you didn't return the coding challenge after 18 days that you simply weren't interested in the job.
And if by 'repeated follow-ups' you mean one email, then I am guilty of that as well and you have my apologies.
Furthermore, I'm assuming instead of 'last year' you meant June.
