I had one chat with the gallery manager. It was pretty chill and conversational, not super formal. We talked about art stuff, how to deal with customers, and my past sales work. They asked me how I'd manage important clients and if I knew much about different art types. They decided pretty quickly, within a week.

Got a cold outreach from the internal recruiting manager about an open role. The whole process was well managed from start to finish, with timely feedback and interview scheduling. I withdrew mid-process because I got another opportunity. I'd consider future opportunities with the company if our paths crossed again.

Behavioral Other
I had an in-person interview with two people from the department. They seemed really disengaged and barely asked me any questions. One person spent the whole time talking about their role, and the other asked only 2-3 questions, seeming bored with my answers. What shocked me most was they assumed I had no questions and tried to leave; I had to tell them I did to stop them. After I asked several questions, I had one last one I thought was straightforward and meaningful, but the person misinterpreted it and replied rudely. No one I've interviewed with elsewhere has ever replied that way or liked that question. I was dumbfounded by their answers. I followed up with HR several times, but it's been over a month with zero replies.
