John Perez Graphics & Design interview questions

Initial telephone screening done with Mr. Perez. After answering Mr. Perez's questions, he instructed me to look at his site & write him if still interested in the position. After looking @ the site, I wrote back expressing interest. He didn't respond back in writing or phone call. When I called him to follow-up, he was extremely rude to me indicating I took too long to write (it was the next day after our phone conversation). He then abruptly told me they were looking at other candidates. Bad impression of this comp. because of his lack of tact, didn't thank me for applying & general unprofessional phone skills.

Originally was contacted from an unknown number by a man who ended up giving me a fake name and would not tell me the company name but told me the address of the company and the time of the interview along with a few job description details. Was greeted by an employee at the door who let me in, because the door was locked, and doors were locked behind me to which I then had to sign several agreements up front. Owner then greeted me and told me his real name and said he didn't want to tell me his real name on the phone. Then I took 3 tests. A verbal test for drugs and lifestyle, that also asked questions about my political stance, a math test of 50 questions in 10 minutes with incredibly long questions, and a test for artistic ability requiring me to draw the owner's office. Employees seemed uptight and unhappy like they weren't allowed to acknowledge me. The office was small. None of my interview question that I had for them were answered. I asked questions ranging from if they were replacing someone, to what software I'd be using and was told they could not share any information with me, even the software I'd need to use. I was told that there would be no PTO for 1 year, after 1 year I'd be given a week, and that inability to be prompt is unacceptable. I then was told that someone was fired because they were 15 minutes late, because they had to take their sick dog to the vet to be put down, and that was no excuse to be late. I was asked about my family situation and it was implied that I would have no home life, and would be working more than 40 hour work weeks as the norm. The benefits described over the phone implied the same standards as other companies, but then offered much less than other companies I've worked for, in the interview. There was no 401k and the health benefits were weak in comparison to other places I've worked for, with 3-4 weeks lacking in time off, and no sick time. There didn't seem to be many pros to the job except for the work itself. Again, the employees did not seem happy. Think people sitting quietly at their desks, head down, trying to not make eye contact with you and looking panicked and desperate. The salary was also much lower than the bracket I have worked in for my skills. It was the most uncomfortable interview experience I've ever had.
