The interview was a panel discussion with some professionals from the DOE. It was polite and professional. Since it was a panel, some people were on speakerphone, which made it hard to hear. When they described the challenges and projects, I lost interest because it wasn't a good fit for what I wanted to do. The job description didn't mention these specifics, which were important. Overall, the team was great and I think they would have been good to work with.
