36 senior software engineer php interview questions shared by candidates

They will ask you to solve 3 simple problems in 60 minutes. However, it's totally waste of the time. The test itself is easy, but don't check any programming skills at all. They will give you a code snippet and you will need to finish rest of the code. Of course, the code won't be compiled, so no possible to run it locally to check what is really doing the code. Let's back to '40s and program something with pen and note. Additionally, I didn't get any feedback from the side from 2 days I solved and sent the test back. I had to ask about the answer which I received on the 3rd day. I don't know if that was about the money or something else, but I won't bother about applying to that kind of company. Unprofessional approach.

The technical questions primarily focused on Symfony and Domain-Driven Design implementations in PHP, with a particular emphasis on SOLID principles. Specifically, topics included: - Symfony: - Roles of Services, Containers, Kernel, and Entities - Exploration of other Bundles like API authentication and authorization - Doctrine related questions - Domain-Driven Architecture (in relation to implementation with Doctrine in Symfony): - Architectural concepts such as Layered Architecture, MVC, MVVC, Hexagonal (not microservice), and CQRS - Entities and associated considerations like validation - Aggregates, Factories, and Repositories (including Transaction management) - Modules and Value Objects, with potential deep dives into aspects like Side-Effect-Free behavior, Immutability, and Persisting Value Objects Importantly, there were no questions related to SQL, CI/CD, Orchestration tools, APIs, or microservices topics, rather just more than 1 hour focused on Symfony and Domain-Driven Design.
