The interviewer came across as condescending throughout the conversation, often using a tone that felt dismissive rather than collaborative. Many of his questions felt like “gotcha” traps rather than genuine attempts to understand my background or problem-solving process. Additionally, their limited knowledge of design principles and best practices made it difficult to have a meaningful discussion about the role’s creative requirements. Overall, the experience left me questioning whether this would be a supportive or design-forward environment. There was also no recruiter involved which seemed odd. A lot of canned "questions to ask during an interview".
