What are your general comments?

I felt pretty relaxed during the interview, although at times, I felt my interviewer was rushing me while I was answering the questions. I felt he was really trying to get to know me as a person. Out of all the interviews I've had, I felt this was fairly easygoing and not really intimidating.
