I was told at the start that it wasn't an interview and more of a "get to know you chat". Most of this non-interview was a sales pitch about the company with the non-interviewer stopping occasionally to ask me a question. By the end they had all but said I would be heading to the next round for the start of the real interview process and that I should hear back in the next couple of days. I didn't hear anything from them for the 12 days so I sent a follow up email asking for an update only to receive a generic rejection email in response.

I was invited to a first interview. The interview was more of a quiz rather than asking about previous experiences, plus the interviewer kept rambling about other unnecessary topics, such as how he wished he chose a different position. Never heard back afterwards.
