First was a "culture fit" assesement followed by a bizzar paper essay-style exam modeled on the lead developer's programming style. Then it was followed-up with a number of poorly laid-out coding examples that the candidate is expected to quickly explain the purpose of while the lead developer hovers over your shoulder. Essay questions involved basic OOP theory, singletons, hand-writing a function to build and sort an array, how to install an SSL cert in Apache, SQL injection, etc. The handwritten nature can lead to akwardness if you lean on your development environment for daily work and they seem to be looking for a candidate that has experience with the lead developer's PHP-forum learned style.
