Interview
"Senior Full Stack Developer (PHP/Laravel + Vue.js)"
Real waste of time circus. First of all, appointment was moved few times even into hours I marked as unacceptable. No big deal. No apologies.
Then, only one of three interviewers present were asking questions and in a manner like he was in a rush to catch a plane and I was his poor employee bugging him of nonsense questions.
I was rudely interrupted few time while trying to elaborate my answers. Who cares about details, right? Just say a 'keyword' and you are 'golden'.
Never asked anything business and/or culture related topics. Pure technical stuff questions around Laravel. Do we employ robots?
Demo my projects? Just took a look into one file on irrelevant question. Wasted.
In general for a 'senior' role this is a total waste of time. Making a case of extreme importance on the framework parts barely used or changed (set it and forget it) while disregarding real world solutions of day to day customers problems. I wonder why they constantly re-post the same job?
I do not imagine working along such staff in the future.

Interview
The interview process at 247Labs for the advertised "Senior Business Analyst" role had four stages. It began with a call from HR, where we discussed and agreed on salary expectations. The second round was an interview with my prospective manager and a colleague, followed by a third stage where I presented a PowerPoint about a previous project. The final round was unexpectedly informal, requiring me to present the same material again.
Upon receiving the offer, however, I discovered two significant issues: the position was actually titled "Business Analyst" rather than "Senior Business Analyst," and the salary offered was lower than initially agreed. After some negotiation, they increased the salary slightly, but it still didn’t match the initial offer. Furthermore, the contract indicated payment per hour as a contractor, contrary to the full-time, salaried position described in the job listing.
The process took 3 days. I interviewed at 247 Labs in Jul 2024
Interview
I interviewed for a Full Stack Developer role, and it was a highly disappointing experience. Despite being asked in a pre-interview email to demo my Vue.js, PHP, and Laravel projects, the interviewers skipped any discussion about my background and jumped straight into vague technical questions. They were rude, frequently interrupted me, and seemed disorganized, with no clear plan for the interview. The lack of interest in my experience speaks volumes about the company culture
