I first met on the main campus with the group's director. We met in the cafe, and had a distraction filled 40 minute chat. Seriously, this cafe is filled with like 40 TVs blaring all sorts of sporting events, and there were people milling around and walking past us all the time. But after that interview the director arranged for me to meet the team. And we met in a conference room at their offices.
The biggest problem is that the director prepared me to angle my responses one way, while the team was apparently seeking the opposite. There seemed to be very alignment between what the team wanted, versus what the director wanted. And, since the director isn't as involved in the day-to-day, the team was the final decider.
