Inexperienced interviewers, spoiled the interview experience. The interviewer taking interview for UI architect position are developer/senior developers who doesn't even know basics. It's not just about experience but the person asking questions should know the answers. The lady taking interview told we can use hooks in the class components. Take a look at the documentation and check whether you can really do it. She was so adamant on this despite not knowing such a basic thing. It's so unfortunate for the company that such naive are taking interviews for higher position.
