Honestly that doesn’t seem a bad decision. You will be eating PHP day in day out. It would be a bad choice for the company if they had candidates who otherwise don’t care that much about PHP’s problems, and a disservice to you if you could otherwise find equivalent jobs in a language you like better.

Working in a PHP shop, nobody would care to shit on PHP during an interview. We know the shortcommings, it just doesn’t really matter that much.

I'm definitely not criticising them for their decision. I honestly probably wouldn't've liked working with PHP all day long, especially since the job would've been working with quite a lot of legacy code.
