I had an interview with a panel of 2 people, one being the senior project manager and the other someone not on the team. They seemed new to interviewing and nervous, but it actually put me at ease. They were friendly, approachable, and seemed impressed with my background. I think the decision was made before I even arrived because the job went to someone with the exact same experience.
