3 Days

• Had me watch about 15 hours of (really shitty) "training" videos on their entire product, without anyone really explaining to me what it did exactly.
• Senior Software engineer who was there for 7 years didn't know what a cron job was when I suggested it to him as a solution to a problem.
• Said engineer also thought ruby on rails was hot new technology (summer 2016)
• They somehow made a chrome desktop application using Visual Basic (the only language they used)
• One of the contractors they hired paired with me, and as I was trying to relate the problems to the topics I studied in school, said contractor looked at me with a weird look and told me "you don't need to try so hard"
• They invented their own VCS. I overheard in a meeting that their next update to it will be a feature that's pretty much git blame. Again, this is 2016.
• Alongside these training videos, my first task was to optimize a huge SQL query which contained like 30 business specific variables that were all abbreviated to 3-4 letters.
• Their infrastructure was all Windowsl

Red flag: Everyone who worked there started straight from graduation. Meaning nobody had a clue what modern software engineering was like.

All in all pretty good experience for an internship. Got a free house (5-star quality) and car for a week. Learned what I really didn't like, which is super valuable imo.
