I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at WP Engine
Interview
The initial coding interview is on hackerrank which is fair. There are 6 questions and you are expected to complete 3 perfectly. The questions are all fair datastructure, algorithm questions which are all fair questions. The problem is that the time is limited to 75 minutes and all the questions takes sometime to read to understand what is the intention of the problem. And there are only one set of sample input output samples for you to ask any edge case questions. I like the fact that the company is interviewing for real coders only, but how about extend the time or give some extra inputs and outputs so the user does not have to guess for specification?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at WP Engine (Limerick, Limerick)
Interview
I had a great interview process overall. After my initial contact with Ashlesha, she was able to match me with a role that matched my experience, unfortunately the first role I tried for didn't work out. Surprisingly, Ashlesha she got back to me with an interview offer for my current role and that matched my experience even better. The interview was moderate difficulty with 4 rounds of interviews with one coding interview and one architecture interview . Since i did start out interviewing for another role before this, I had about 7 total , but they were quick, completed everything within the span of like 3wks and was able to start immediately after I was approved, like literally passed the interview Thursday and started working the next Tuesday. I'm pretty satsfied so far with everything and look forward to all the journey has to bring ! Wishing best of luck to anyone currently job hunting , hopw you find a role that's your perfect fit !

I don't know . It's just a phone call interview. and still going on. BUt I think it's kind like unprofessional. Hr ask me tech experience but he actually doesn't know what I am talking about.
