What are your general comments?
Very laid back and conversational. The staff (starting with the security guard all the way to the interviewers) did a great job of making it a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. Ask lots of questions. Undeniably, the most important thing is to get a sense of whether or not you belong there, so come relaxed (easier said than done) and ready to let them get to know you.
