Vantaggi
Opportunity for those less experienced to get hands very dirty with PHP. Most employees are friendly though most appear to be overworked.
Svantaggi
It depends: Probably the worse role is that of a PHP engineer/developer/programmer. The CEO (Peter) is very experienced and talented himself in PHP and is involved in day to day development. Further he believes his way is the only way and scoffs at industry standards set by leaders such as Symfony. For that reason, it is nearly impossible to hit the ground the running - contrary to expectations. The work environment is deceptive; When the offer was made verbally at the end of the interview - the amount stated was in terms of a salary. Albiet a bit low, it was acceptable, as stated. However, first day on the job when papers were signed it became apparent that instead of a salaried job, it is really hourly with strict sign in/sign out requirements, and minimum of 10 hour work days. Probably illegal, and certainly unethical. If you're considering a PHP role.. keep looking. If it a front end developer position; Maybe. It seems that Peter pretty much lets them produce without hovering - I'm assuming because he doesn't know React or JS well enough to overcontrol that side of the house.
