Arkonik interview questions

The company, Arkonik, at its surface appears to be the kind of place most car enthusiasts would love to work at. And the company seems to have a glossy exterior, however after speaking with management it’s hard to tell what direction this company is heading in. I will stay as brief as possible about the interview process, everything went extremely well with speaking to the director and touring the facility. However, things went south once a discussion with the CEO of the company was added on to the end of the interview. The CEO insisted that I recite specific details about the company that if you didn’t work internally at the company may be difficult to do. Imagine you’re interviewing to be a nurse at a hospital and the hospital admin asks that you tell them how many patients the hospital sees in a day. Would this seem irrelevant to your experience or to proving your capability as a candidate? You see where I’m going here. Either way, you are clearly judged for not knowing the answer to a question like this. Even when I had answered these types of questions (example: How much does a build of ours cost? My answer $150,000-$200,000 which is not off according to their website) correctly, the CEO made it a point to correct me that the numbers I gave may be “off”, as in finding a way to make me look wrong in the situation. (CEO said actually their builds go upward of $400,000 and emphasized that my answer was “wrong”) At the end of this interview the CEO asked me for a number (salary) I would feel as though would be fair for this position. I declined to answer that and requested they start with a number, they then declined and then sent it back to me.This went back and forth and eventually lead to an awkward conversation where I was forced to say a number which did not seem like it was well received by the CEO. Despite the number being some sort of starting point for the negotiations, the CEO then declined to even counter or discuss anything further. This entire exercise by the CEO felt as if he he wanted to intimidate me as a candidate, and belittle me in anyway he could for what reason I will never know. Not to mention the discussion with the CEO was riddled with foul and inappropriate language that one would feel you would reserve for someone once they were apart of the company. Not quite the look you want to exude when placing your best foot forward with candidates. To also reflect this you can find the CEO on Instagram under the username: saladgayworm I think this says quite a bit about the leadership of this company.
