#1 There were other questions on top of that where the recruiter obviously didn't pay attention. Such as I'd mention that I use the MVC pattern to program and have been using it via a PHP framework. He would follow that up with "Do you have any experience with MVC?" and I'm like, are you serious? I just said that I've been programming this way for years. Right after that he'd ask "Have you used any PHP Frameworks?" and again, I'm bewildered because I've already answered this. He would also, LITERALLY, ask the same question again, five minutes later as if he wasn't paying attention. I'm all for curveballs. I've been interviewed for a front-end job and was asked about SQL but it was approached differently rather than "top 10 questions" from Google. Idk. You might be right though, it could have been a test.
#2 Indeed, the company doesn't. However it's discouraging after you're told, "You'll get a response within 48 hours" and nothing happens. Or when a recruiter ignores half your email by ignoring any questions you have and responding to the last sentence in your email. I don't write lengthy emails either. I like to keep it short and concise so you can quickly scan it on your phone if anything.
In the end, I'm happy to not be there and not deal with them. I might just contact them for the hell of it to see what's up.
