Had the initial interview with the Director of Talent Acquisition. The meeting seemed to go as well as could be. I was told multiple times that my background was impressive and every other positive signal possible. It took an entire week to get a generic rejection email. Generally speaking, you have a good sense of when you'll move forward. The issue wasn't rejection following what you perceive as a positive interview. The issue was receiving a generic rejection email, one whole week after the interviewer gives off the most positive impression you'll ever come across. If you interview with this person, be a bit skeptical, as her impressions may be exaggerated.
