The interview consisted of a practical (open book) test where I was allowed to browse the internet to find examples, documentation, and/or solutions to the presented problem. This is key to remember, as what they are testing is primarily how you research and solve a problem.

Following the practical part, I interviewed with three other individuals, going over specific technical areas with each – everything from building a singleton class in PHP to explaining a bunch of JavaScript code I had never seen before.

The interview ended with a one-on-one with the director of the group I was interviewing for, and it seemed to be more about personality than technical skills.
