Fundamentally, I should have known from the interview that I was a bad match. The interviewer, my boss, spent the entire meeting looking at the clock. And the questions he asked showed that he had limited experience supervising professionals. CPS bureaucracy is so convoluted that I had to walk all my paperwork through several offices over several weeks just to secure an offer. And, as it turned out, they never should have advertised the job anyway. I still got it, but left a year later.
