I had three interviews. The first one I was taken to dinner at a fancy restaurant and it was very different from a normal interview. The owner was very casual and friendly with the conversation that seemed be designed to figure out how I behaved in that setting and to learn about my personal history and life experiences. We talked just a little bit about the actual job but a lot about design in general, my experiences with projects and travels. The second interview was offered at the conclusion of the meal and was set for the next day at the office. I was asked to bring examples of my work, drawings and ability to sketch. After a tour, my work was gone over in a very detailed manner, he clearly loves perfection and an aesthetic style to one's work. He then showed examples of the company's work and explained what they were looking for and concepts of how he wanted things done in the future. After two days I was invited back for a third interview/meeting where he formally made me an offer to work for them. I was surprised by the amount in a good way. He said he didn't want employees to be worried about money and how they were going to make ends meet and he said there is a catch to that. He wanted exceptional work and my complete attention to the job and projects in exchange for it.
