      Entry Level CAD Designer/Drafter Interview

      30 Jan 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Austin, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Adecco (Austin, TX) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      I applied for a posting online on Craig's List. The add did not provide a company name, and was very vague, but I was desperate at the time. I received a phone call almost immediately the same day asking me to take a skills test which only gauges your knowledge of decades old technology, and has nothing to do with the job you applied for. This test also means little to nothing as I scored very high apparently, and other employees I met on the job informed me they scored low, and were still hired. Apparently they don't have very strict standards, and will hire anyone to meet their quotas. They basically have an agreement with a company to provide labor farm quality work. They pay low, provide no benefits of any kind, and the company they hired me for had a mandatory work week of 56+ hours including weekends. They also didn't inform me of the high employee turnover somewhere in the ballpark of 65% within 6 months. The only thing I get walking out the door is how much of a scam this is to provide cheap labor for their contract companies. They technically receive part of your paycheck from the aforementioned company to provide HR resources, and other various services. When in truth they actually supply none. They provide a work log to track your hours, and it's more to make sure they receive payment for your hours worked than anything else.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The interview was very standard asking all the routine questions. The main issue that made this interview terrible was the lack of knowledge about the position providing only vague details about it. The biggest question that was a make or break for this interview was how much I would be willing to work, and being desperate who wouldn't agree to working up to 50 hours of overtime weekly (Even though this was a low estimate). They also asked if I would be ok working split shifts when in truth I would only have the option to work night shifts 10 hours minimum a day for 6 days a week (3:30pm to 2pm)
