The interview setting was unprofessional and I received no follow-up after interviewing. I had to contact them myself to learn they had chosen another candidate. This role was intended to be a step down from my current position.

The interview usually involves a panel, including the hiring manager and people you'd work with. They explained the interview structure beforehand and gave us the questions to follow along.
