LaPel Solutions interview questions

It started great with an hour-long Teams meeting with the CEO, Larry. He had me eating out of his hand and asked me to think about questions to ask and to sleep on it over the weekend. I left voice mails and sent emails on Monday and Tuesday and finally wrote him off until he called me a week later. Our conversation became more job focused and he I suggested he call one of my references. Then he emailed me a few days later and asked how we could get together in person, and when I was available to fly to WA. I had already asked my current employer for Wednesday and Thursday the following week, and Larry asked me to fly out on Tuesday. He covered the cost of the flight and motel and even booked them both. Larry picked me up at the airport and I spent a nearly full day at the office, with most time being spent with everyone but Larry. It appeared he just wanted to make sure I was compatible with the existing staff, which there seemed to be no problems. I "interviewed" with 7 people other than Larry and felt I was going to be a great fit. I spent the night in town and was picked up the next morning for follow up with Larry before my flight back home. He wanted to know what questions, concerns, etc., that I had (and my wife, too). He said he was REALLY interested but he wanted me to go home and call him the next day if I was still interested. I called the next day a few times and was unable to reach Larry. He finally called and said they were pretty busy around the office but would be sending me an offer letter that day or the next. It was a long night... The next morning I reached out with no response and by the end of the day I was calling and being asked to call back every 15 minutes. Finally I was told that Larry "promised to call soon", which was near their close of business on a Friday evening. He didn't call, but rather, emailed and thanked me for the interview and said they discussed at length and decided I was a poor choice due to my location, which had not changed in the nearly 30 days I had been talking to Larry. I've concluded that Larry made an offer to someone else and he was waiting for that person to respond, but he was getting his chain yanked, too. I was the plan B and my location had nothing to do with it. I actually emailed him on Monday morning after he declined to email me the offer he promised and told him my theory and asked him to respond, which he did not. Yes, this is the definition of crying over spilled milk. But I put several other, lesser opportunities on hold while I was waiting for him to make up his mind. I burned a couple vacation days and actually spent quite a bit of money of my own between meals, airport parking, gas, etc. In my professional life of over 25 years, I've never been as disappointed as I was with how this thing went down (the drain). I think overall this would be a good place to work but if you apply and interview with Larry, know that his motto of "treat others how you would want to be treated" only goes so far.
