Not sure what if there’s a question in there but… is your friend actually good? Seems like they’re not prepared and can’t think quickly on their feet.
Their work is good, that's the thing... The presentation let them down and made a poor impression on the team as a whole. I'm a bit conflicted as I don't want this to be something that removes them from the process, given their work is pretty great.
You should take an interview seriously even if it’s with a friend in the biz. Put on your professional hat (which for me is a sparkly pink beret.)
Agree. Behavior like that makes it seem like she felt she was a shoe-in for the position too and that’s not a likable quality. So I can understand why the other colleagues were turned off to her.
Is there a specific question?
I think this reflects poorly on her. Even though she’s your friend, she should take this seriously. This is the exact type of situation that leads to resentment because had you hired her, she might think she doesn’t have to make a genuine effort. As was the case you described.

Sounded like they thought the interview was just a formality and they got the job? Still weird to be unprepared after you informed them your other colleagues will be present. Maybe you can suggest a second interview?
