What are your general comments?

The interviewers were all really friendly. I had two PhD's and one 4th year--the 4th year was the most intimidating one. The questions were straightforward and easy to answer. I really felt they were trying to gauge me as a person. I felt really relaxed throughout the interview--we were chatting and laughing the whole time.
