What are your general comments?

The interviewers that my group was assigned to asked a greater amount of questions as well as more in depth questions than the other interviewers for the other groups. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But the other applicants that were in the other groups felt happier about the simplicity of their interview, whereas my group felt quite tense afterward.
