I applied and got a call from a recruiter within a few days. The next step was a short phone interview with the hiring manager. I was then scheduled to come into the office for a 4 person interview. I spent approximately 30 minutes with each person discussing the role and my experience. I felt my interview went well and I had a great relationship with each person. After a couple days I got a call and was told that they were going with an internal candidate. The way that it was presented to me made me feel that this was the decision they were going to make all along. I was told that they may contact me within a couple months regarding other positions but have yet to hear anything 4 months later.

quick initial interview for prescreening, wasn't in person, virtual, was quick and went over the position, felt comfortable, nice conversation, looking forward to next steps which would be another interview
