> Bee is a photo sharing site that connects you with your favorite brands.You post photos to Bee and they're sent directly to the people who matter. You get nationwide exposure and photo credit as your shot is featured on everything from billboards to social media.

Their business model is "paying" people for stock photos with exposure. I'm not surprised they're averse to fairly compensating people who do work for them.

Which makes it extra hilarious that the interview, not even the internship, consists of “write the entire technology core of our business for us”.

We dont use the W-word anymore, this is not a steel mill- we are creating the future here. Our relationship to the people in this office is better described as correlating hobbys. So if you want to ch-oin, you are welcome!

Yep, great business model: collect free photos from users, sell them to companies to use on their social media for $199-$799.
