Formally known as Palm Solutions, yambay's focus is on the development of software for handheld computers and mobile devices such as mobile phones. While the company is based in Sydney, it also has offices in Perth and South Africa.
Like eClinic, yambay puts prospective employees through multiple interviews in order to establish both their skills-base and the compatibility with the yambay atmosphere.
According to Ellen Dodd, the company's corporate services consultant, yambay provides employees with extensive development opportunities and maintains a flat hierarchy.
"There is a running joke with our CEO about his open-door policy," Dodd said. "Because he doesn't even have an office."
And who was the worst? If you published that, the worst companies might actually be so embarrassed they might lift their game.
