What are your general comments?

overall, I liked my interviewers, because they were pretty laid back and genuinely interested in finding out more about me, rather than simply bent on grilling me. however, the second interviewer was 45 minutes late because he was in surgery, and then he rushed through my interview in about 10 minutes, so I felt flustered.
