Currently working as a full stack dev with PHP on the backend. Every language will have its pros and cons. If there was one language to rule them all then everyone would use it. Point is you should instead focus on how the company uses the language. Do they have standards, tests, deployment process, etc..? Every language can have projects that are a nightmare or a pleasure to work with. It really all comes down to the company.

Ask to see a code sample if possible.

nice points. Def know there is not a language to rule them all. I'm a ruby fan - its "good enough" but def full of faults. I just wanted know the pros and cons of PHP so I properly weigh my options.
