What impressed you positively?

Innovative format of this year's interview. It was like a bell-ringer and it gave you the chance to interact with 12 different interviewers

We didn't get a break during the entire 2 hours! Prepare for thirst.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Everything was explained well beforehand.

What are your general comments?

Mac was great. I came out of there really energized. They could perhaps improve the process by incorporating more personal questions "tell me about yourself"...I found that very little was asked about my experiences and interests and most was about how much I know or how I think/act etc.
