The decor is presentable, and the location is convenient.
If there is already a salary floor, I suggest stating it directly in the job posting. After seeing the expected salary (the amount that other companies were already willing to offer), the interviewer began criticizing, belittling, and questioning the interviewee’s abilities, even directly saying, “I think your portfolio does not fit the company’s style.” (Then why notify me about the interview in the first place and waste both of our time?)
At the beginning, he explicitly said that he did not understand design, but then started criticizing the interviewee’s work based on his own “uninformed” perspective.
Although this was an individual incident, it shows that the company’s higher-ups have room for improvement in terms of emotional intelligence. If someone’s salary expectation is higher than the budget, they could also politely ask whether it is negotiable.
Personally, I feel that working under management like this would probably not come with very good compensation. This interview experience also made me certain that I will never buy KOKKO products.
