      Software Development Interview

      8 Oct 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Houston, TX
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oil Projects USA (Houston, TX) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      I left this "interview" immediately after I figured what this was all about. I applied through my university career site. Was emailed to arrange an interview. The interview was at the companies headquarters. This company is super small. They basically wanted the "intern" to do all the work by him/herself over a course of 6 months. So it was advertised as an "internship" when in fact, all they wanted was to pay a student less than they would an actual independent developer to write and maintain an application for their company. They needed the "intern" to do all of the work. No learning, no mentors, no team. Just individual work for 1 person during the fall and following spring semesters (yes, this was no summer internship). Even after all of this, if someone were to accept them, they would pay that student... 15$ an hour for 20hrs a week to develop an app for them in 4 months.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I don't speak Spanish (it was even advertised as "bilingual preferred") so I didn't start off with the right footing. No behavioral questions, no tech question, he just started asking me question as to what is needed for an app to be developed. He didn't know anything about the development cycle. There was no IT team. They just wanted a student to do all the work for them, instead of contracting an actual company or individual developer.
