What are your general comments?
interview was in a group setting in one of those "breakout rooms" which were extremely small (because there were 5 of us and 2 interviewers there).
good part about a group interview is that if you can't think of an answer, you don't have to answer first (unless they specifically call on you). bad part about group interviews is that if you don't go first, someone might already say exactly what you were going to say.
