The interview questions felt very formulaic, almost as if they were generated by ChatGPT. The office itself was nice, but the interview panel seemed unengaged and lacked basic interviewing skills, making it feel less like a serious business and more like a lifestyle gig.

First, I did a quick intro, talked about my previous job experience, and the design programs I use. Then, we went over my portfolio and I explained it. They asked about my earliest availability to start, my salary expectations, and a designer told me about her day-to-day tasks and current projects.
