Long ago, when searching for my first swe job, I was invited to this group interview things, when they put us all in a room and asked us to complete tasks like building a spaceship out of LEGOs.
After the first task, we were asked "what do you think about the task?". I raised my hand: "it's humiliating", and left the room.
I didn't had any other offer at that time, and got a call from them a day later, telling me they'd like to talk with me. Replied that I don't think it'd be a good match.
I later learned that role was for the infamous "binary options", a gray market betting website.
Good on you for standing up to this bullshit in your first career job. I'm not sure I would've known better, and I sure wouldn't have had the guts to speak out about it
