Worst Experience of My Life - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Applied Imagination

I accepted a position with this company under the title "Front End Developer with PHP". The ad posted focused primarily on front end skills, I was interviewed based on my front end experience, and I took a skills assessment that focused exclusively on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript development. I was told before I accepted the position that the PHP portion was mostly focused on supplementing template development and light work like fixing broken forms and plugins. On my first project I was given the task of developing a PHP-based backend using their custom, in house content managment system, building out the user system and components, and writing all of the MySQL queries. This clearly falls well outside the scope of front end development and the work I agreed to do at the salary I accepted. When I asked management if this was standard, I was told that 'the way we do things here is kind of peculiar' and subsequently released from the company. During my interview, the manager informed me that all of the managers there are experienced developers themselves, which is why I find it hard to believe that they do not understand the difference between a front end developer, a back end developer, and a full stack developer. You can't claim experience and ignorance at the same time.
