Pearl Abyss interview questions

One on site panel interview with multiple team members and a take home assignment. Interview was largely behavioral and they asked about things on my resume as well as more about myself.

I had a typical three-round interview process. The first round was with HR, featuring basic screening questions about my commute, where I live, and very simple inquiries regarding my previous job experience. The second interview was with a manager who seemed to be my direct supervisor for the position. He asked more intricate details about my work experience, specifically related to the Game Master position. He was lovely to talk to and interact with. The third and final round was with an office manager and the recently hired CEO, who stepped in after the previous CEO left. Overall, I felt that this was the point where the interview experience went downhill. The CEO came off as a bit shrewd in his questions and responses to any inquiries I made. One question that stood out was, "If you were in charge of the Titanic Lifeboats, who would you pick to save first and why?" We went back and forth; I initially mentioned women and children, but when considering a scenario with only men left and more space, I had to think further. This question seemed to reflect on cultural fit, but it appeared more geared towards "company values." For instance, selecting older men might indicate a more people-oriented perspective, while choosing younger, working-age men could suggest a more pragmatic approach to who should be saved. I did not respond as intended, and I posed a question I heard from a previous interview at a community manager position. The question being "You are a gardener in charge of a garden and have a toolhouse full of tools. What tool are you using first?". This seemed to offend the CEO, and he didn't understand the question. From there, we went along with the interview, and I asked another question. "Say there's a drop in morale in the office, how do you go about inspiring the office and bringing morale up" His response was along the lines of "It should be a pleasure to work in the office, and I would remind the employees of that." That entire third round with the CEO told me a lot about the kind of culture he wants to have for the office. While I was not offered the position, I'm unsure how good of an environment it would be
