Pleasant. General talk with senior management. Was offered tea beforehand while waiting in boardroom. Management was looking for candidates with more management experience. Cannot really recall the other details but just generic questions that were not too difficult to answer.

More generic questions on background experience etc
Found the interview to be quite unprofessional. I felt that the interviewers came across as very condescending, with lots of questions about my family and personal life out of nowhere. I have been for many other interviews, and there is a clear difference between a tough interview and an unprofessional one.
