Spoke with a hiring rep on the phone a few times, who confirmed that what they were looking for was something I both could and desired to do. After that, there was a phone call with the hiring manager to discuss the more technical aspects and ascertain my skill set. Finally, I was asked to drive 2 hours to their corporate office to meet in person with the hiring manager, the owner, and a couple of Sr engineers for a few hours. I felt very comfortable with the questions they were asking me and the technologies for the position, but ultimately I was not offered the position as the owner deemed me "too cavalier" and expressed concern that I wouldn't perform well in direct proximity to customers. This, gleaned from the same meeting where the owner himself casually used course language that would never be used in front of a customer unless they were already VERY familiar. The company seemed pretty great, the people were friendly and intelligent, but I can't help but wonder if I dodged a bullet from a hypocritical/micro-managing owner with these guys.
