So, here’s how our interview process works for the PHP developer role. It’s pretty straightforward and gives both sides a good sense of whether it’s a match. First, we’ll start with a short intro call — like 30 to 45 minutes — just to get to know each other a bit. I’ll ask about your background, what you’ve worked on with PHP, maybe some questions around frameworks you’ve used (Laravel, Symfony, whatever you're comfortable with), and I’ll tell you a bit about what we do. If that goes well, the next step is a technical interview. That one’s usually around an hour or so. We’ll go a bit deeper into your experience, maybe talk through how you solve problems, some code structure decisions, and sometimes we’ll look at a small code example or do a quick live task — but nothing crazy. After that, we’ll give you a Probearbeit — basically a short coding task you can do at home. It’s meant to reflect the kind of work you’d actually do here. Usually it’s something you can finish in 4 to 8 hours. You can take a couple of days if needed, and of course, you can reach out with questions during the process. Once that’s done, they’ll do a final call to talk through it — what you did, how you approached it — and they’ll give you some feedback too. From there, if it’s a good fit on both sides, they ’ll talk about the offer and next steps.

Initial 1 hour call with team lead to answer some short questions related to object oriented programming and PHP. On the second call I was provided with a 4-5 hour programming challenge following by a call to discuss my implementation.
