Colloquio
I just got done with a phone interview with Lockerz for a PHP position. The interview lasted approximately 1 hour, with a 5 minute "Getting to know you". It started off with a typical fizz buzz test which I started with a recursive PHP programm to get the values, at which point I was told NOT to use recursive functions, so I started over with a foreach loop. This was the LAST PHP question that I had. After that every question that I had was Javascript, at which I told the interviewer that my Javascript is mostly for front end coding with JQuery. This did not stop him. After 45 minutes of Javascript questions I feel extremely burnt out. Things that were asked were scope in javascript for function variables, and why things wouldn't work. Comparison operators, and what is the difference between a normal comparison and a literal comparison. What is a Javascript array, at which point I was told that PHP arrays are "stupid and make no sense". I have a really bad taste in my mouth for being asked to interview for a PHP position, told its a hokey language, and being grilled in Javascript. I will not continue the interview process with them.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Lockerz (San Diego, CA) nel mese di apr 2012
Colloquio
I first had a phone interview with the original founder of Tweetphoto and Plixi. We had a candid discussion when lead me to a 2nd round personal interview at their office in San Diego. He drill me during the phone conversations about my asking starting salary, in which, I mistakenly diverge when I should wisely waited until I get an offer. From this experience and the beginning phases, I learned not to discuss expected salary until final offer is made. This limit my possibility of getting a higher starting salary.
When I was at the personal interview, I sat down with the CTO and 2 other developers, 1 front-end, and other other was the back end developer. The CTO asked basic question as what's the difference between Java and PHP, name 3 of the 5 principles of object oriented development, and basic CSS type questions from the front end developer. Overall, I had a great interview with their small and expanding technical team. Later, the past founder of Plixi sat in and asked me why I don't program under a mac vs a pc. I felt his questioning was a bit rude and forward and lack the understanding that we can't all afford a mac. I simply explain the benefit of development under a mac b/c it ran using linux and it's design programs were better than a pc. He continue to reiterate, why you don't use a mac. I own a pc and can't afford a mac.
Although I didn't get an offer, I appreciate their vibrant culture and wish them well with their start-up. After this interview, I ultimately landed my dream job in downtown San Diego with the best company culture. They offered me a great starting salary; we have a company chef that prepared us lunch everyday. Our company is well mixed and have a dynamic growing team. I love my new place!
