What are your general comments?
Everyone else I spoke to at my interview had a very different experience than I did. Their interviewers were very relaxed and conversational - mine just went down a list of very challenging questions and did not respond to my answers (unless I asked them very specific questions back). It was a much more stressful interview than I had expected based off other's experiences here on sdn.
