Interview itself wasn't too difficult, standard stuff. Frustrating part was I got the "going another direction" message with nothing else, less than 24 hours after the interview. During the interview I was told it would be a couple weeks before I heard anything. The rejection didn't bother me it was feeling like they deliberately wasted my time. They knew I was coming from out of town and was burning a whole day for the interview. I work for a competitor, so I do feel like part of it was to just get some competitive intel at the time.
