It was a really good and professional interview. They called when they said they would. I met with two people, a man and a woman, at their Seattle office on Western Ave. I didn't get the job because I lacked recent security experience. They let me know I wasn't chosen and why. When I told them I had already taken another job, the interviewer suggested I reapply later once I had more current experience. They were really professional. If I look for a job again, I'll definitely consider them first.
