What are your general comments?
started with a really quick tour that i wish was a little longer but we got to see just about everything we needed to see in the building. then we sat in a conference room and listened to a presentation while one by one interviewees were called out by interviewers. then lunch then go home. everyone was really friendly and seemed excited to be there. some people don't like the scripted nature of the interview but i feel that lecom is all about organization and professionalism and keeping things very structured reflects what lecom is about.
