The interview was great. The hiring manager was very personable and inciteful. Unfortunately, for me they had already decided to move forward with a different candidate, but they wanted the opportunity to still speak with me and learn more about me.

I was originally contacted by a recruiter to apply for the position. After I submitted my resume they invited me to a virtual fair with other recruiters and for positions I did not apply to. After that the original recruiter contacted me asking for a phone interview. During the interview she said she wanted to move me forward to the hiring manager. A week and a half passes and I receive an email stating I declined to move forward in the process. I emailed the recruiter asking for clarification and got ghosted. Interested applicants beware. What a waste of time.
