I applied online. I interviewed at WP Engine in Feb 2021
Interview
I applied online, then I was sent an e-mail asking if I was interested and a phone interview was set up with the recruiter. I was asked some standard questions about experience, salary expectations etc.
After this I was invited to do a code exercise that was supposed to take 2 to 3 hours. The exercise was to build a block plugin from scratch that leverages React, the WordPress Block API, and the WordPress REST API. The exercise realistically would take over a day to get to production standard. This includes testing, unit tests and providing documentation to build and run.
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.
