Is it bad or is there a polite way to ask an agency to see their work when they haven’t updated their site for a few years, during an interview?

Definitely ask! “What are the projects you’re most proud of in the past year or so? Would love to see!”

That’s probably a sign you shouldn’t ignore. The work on their site is the best that they do. If it hasn’t been updated in years, they probably haven’t done anything better in years. If you’re not impressed by the stuff you see from years ago, and there’s nothing new added, they make unimpressive work.

Doubtful. Their website is how they sell themselves, just like your portfolio is for you. If they have something better, it would be a priority to put it there.
