Interview experience was disappointing, especially considering the position was for a Lead role. Most of the questions focused on very specific syntax details, basic Notepad-related tasks, and raw CSS implementation rather than topics relevant to technical leadership, system design, architecture, problem-solving, team mentoring, or project ownership.
What made the experience more confusing was that I asked the interviewer whether they actually use raw CSS in their projects, and they confirmed that they do not. This raised questions about the relevance of the interview assessment to the actual responsibilities of the role.
Overall, the interview did not seem aligned with the expectations or skill set typically associated with a Lead-level position.
