My main advice is to try and get a conversation going.
Ask about technical things in the process that matter to you. Like, how do they do deployments, how / if they use git. Is there a de facto ORM that they use? Do they do code reviews? ... Share insights on ups and downsides of certain technologies. Discuss. See if you get along.
Maybe the interviewer is not open to that and just wants you solve puzzles. Give it your best shot. And try to get some more interviews :)
I guess I should mention I'm dutch. Perhaps in some cultures things simply don't work this way. Would be interested to learn.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
