The interview process at Base360.ai (Flex Living) raised many red flags. First there was no human interaction before the design assignment, only automated emails. They gave only 5 days to complete an extensive design assignment, no possibility to reschedule, creating unnecessary urgency. The assignment asked to design real work with a real brief for their upcoming product launch. This sounds like free work to me, and I chose not to proceed. I would encourage future candidates to read other interview reviews before starting the assignment and consider whether this is worth your time.

I recently applied for a UX/UI Designer position and just walked away from the process because they are clearly farming for free design work. 10 hours after I submitted my application, they sent over a take-home case study with a "no-reply" email. They asked me to design their (base360.ai) landing page and send them a Figma link. And guess what? I went and looked at their current landing page. The design is bad and obviously in desperate need of a redesign. **Their instructions contain no clause or statement guaranteeing they won't use our designs. There is no language protecting the applicant's intellectual property rights or promising that the work remains yours.
