Process

I had two phone screens, which were fairly simple. They asked questions such as:

  • What are the fundamentals of OOP?
  • What is the difference between OOP and scripting languages like PHP?

Then, I went in for the on-site interview, which was all day and involved eight people. Two of them asked problem-solving questions that weren't too difficult. The rest asked personality questions.
