I had an interview with four other web developers and two on speakerphone, where I discussed previous experience and outlooks on the industry. I was then invited back for a second interview with the head of web development in the UK.

I actually had two other offers on the table when I went into my second interview. At the end of the interview, they were still beating around the bush, telling me I would need to schedule a time to meet with their HR department to talk about benefits, etc.

If they had presented an offer after that second interview, I would have been more tempted to work for them. However, I felt it would have been unfair to the other companies, and I really needed to secure a position.

I felt the team would have been good to work with, but the job was basically being a code monkey and a glorified Joomla developer. Jobs come in from the States; they tell you what to do and how to do it.

We discussed new Front-End technologies (Node.js, Require.js, Less/SASS) and basic JavaScript questions. Topics included:

• What is a closure?
• What is hoisting?

Then, we reviewed an example of my previous work, examined the source code, and discussed the Scrum/Sprint process.
