Very kind HR rep in first interview, truly carried out the company values and new a lot about the team and job.
2nd interview was rough, didn’t seemed like they cared to be there interviewing me. Too busy with their work.

Question 1
In your opinion what would make the control compliant vs non compliant.
Started off smooth. Prompt interviews, straightforward case study. Weeks passed after final round.
I received another offer and withdrew from consideration after accepting a different role.
Coalfire replied to my withdrawal email stating they had chosen another candidate. That left a poor taste in my mouth.
