One of most interesting things Ray and Ron mentioned was how their core staff was selected. They knew they had to be extremely careful in picking their first few; however, Ron mentioned that they never even met them till well into the project. All fo the hiring was done online. I am not a computer science major where this many be the norm of hiring people with tech skills in that department, but as far as I'm concerned a face to face interview is almost a necessity especially in cases for start-ups. Now, the way I inferred Ron's statements was that they probably talked and may be had a few conferences; however, I would like to know how carefully the staff was chosen and how much input did everyone have on the decisions. Also, how does this online hiring affect the working environment. People who work in an office come to work as a team more efficiently because of the social aspect of the workplace due to co-location. How does this work when team members are not only far from each other, but never even met.
