Interview
Phone call with HR to talk about experience and projects. Then a coding challenge to complete within the next day or so, expected to take 1 to 2 hrs. Also asked to submit code sample from a project. After a review of your submission , 1 hr technical interview with another developer.
Technical interview was to look at some PHP code and predict the output. Very simple. Asked how to speed up the code (can loop over array once instead of twice, Yada Yada Yada). Next, write some code to determine if braces are balanced in a language of your choosing through coderpad.
