Degrading In 2018, I had a Skype interview got an offer for a compositing job, then they offered me $10 below my rate and I countered. They then asked me to come in to the office for an in person interview. So glad I did because I met the owner, his assistant(??), and a producer. Meeting these three totally changed my first impression. The owner asked me challenging questions(fair) but keep in mind I'm a junior artist here. I know stuff, but I dont know EVERYTHING and I made that pretty clear going in. He seemed super aggressive and almost offended when I didn't know something or said I was willing to learn(at this point I was only 3 months out of school). Anyway, after the in person interview I did a bit more research and stumbled upon more reviews of the company. My gut feeling was correct! The owner, like many of these other reviews state, comes off pretty aggressive. Definately not someone welcoming. I'm not saying he should hold your hand, but just a BIT of empathy couldnt hurt. BTW I ended up turning down the offer! Looks like I dodged a bullet.
