CBRE Graphic Designer interview questions

I had an interview after passing the phone screening, but the interviewer showed up 10 minutes late and then mentioned they were looking for a more experienced designer. It left me wondering why I even passed the phone screening in the first place.

The interview felt off from the start—overly formal and unengaging. One interviewer seemed disengaged, and the conversation felt more like a presentation about their careers than an actual interview. They began by emphasizing how busy they were and how they had to find time to interview multiple candidates, making me feel like just another task to check off. Despite applying for a creative and technical role, they did not ask anything technical or project-related. My efforts to demonstrate enthusiasm and research were dismissed, and my questions were not taken seriously. The whole experience felt rushed and impersonal, giving me the impression of a toxic work environment.
