      Ruby On Rails Developer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at RevZilla (Philadelphia, PA)

      Interview

      I scheduled a call for a phone screening. During the phone screening I was asked how I came to love Ruby development and I explained that I used to be a WordPress PHP developer and some of the differences that I noticed that made Ruby on Rails great for me personally and the interviewer began getting upset saying you cannot compare the two programming languages. I reminded the interviewer I was not doing a compare and contrast, I was answering the question, "How do you end up becoming a Ruby on Rails developer?". After that the rest is a fog since it left a bad taste in my mouth. Never in my career, have I had someone on a screening phase of an interview want to get into a debate and misunderstand an answer to a question they asked.

      Hey-- Nick chiming in-- co-founder, CTO and the other end of the phone call. First, I really appreciated our chat and getting to hear about your trajectory in all things [web] dev. I'm incredibly sorry that our discussion left a bad taste in your mouth-- (I have an odd affinity for that turn-of-phrase and my significant other routinely laughs when I use it!) We're passionate about serving moto enthusiasts at RevZilla and our commitment to service should extend through the hiring process. Complete apologies. We're also passionate about "Understanding Why?" (ZLA Core Value 2) and I'm genuinely curious why engineers choose the tools that they do-- both the How they came to use them and ultimately the Why. For myself-- this was a journey through c, perl, coldfusion, php, ruby and most recently elixir. All of these languages have certain strengths and weaknesses and my evolution through each has emboldened my passion for building cool things and delighting customers. Thanks for the red ink and feedback-- feel free to reach out if you have any other concerns. Take care, -Nick
