Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'altra fonte. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Busuu (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di mar 2019
Colloquio
Team lead contacted me on Linkedin for a position of a PHP developer to their London office.
1. Skype call
In a couple of days, we had a Skype interview.
It was a general discussion about what I've been doing so far including the standard question "What is the thing/project you've done that you are proud of".
2. Face-to-face: Technical part
Next week it was a face-to-face interview in their office.
There was an example technical project that they used as a ginny pig:
- I had to explain what I see
- How I would add another feature
- Identify "bad smelling" parts and what can be done to improve them.
There were other questions about:
- High load
- A couple of question about MySQL joins, selects, blocking/non-blocking transactions
- Query commits/rollback
- DB performance
3. Face-to-face: CTO
It was a question-answer conversation. Most of the questions from CTO to me were about my motivation and salary desire.
4. Response
I've got an answer the next day - NO. The official reason for that was due to the lack (or I would say formal lack) of the experience with frameworks (Laravel or Symphony).
Overall I have neutral feelings about the whole process.

Colloquio
They made an interview to me. Some very weird questions but fine overall. I never heard back from them.
3 months later, the recruiter whose name starts my Y, sent a private message on linkedin, saying that they where very interested in my profile. I explain to her the bad experience i had with them and she said will not happen again, so i decided to get interviewed again
In this new interview looks like they didnt even know who i was, so good for me
Very similar interview with weird questions.
I never heard them back, but this time i messaged to Y on linkedin. She didnt even reply
Shame
