This place is by far the biggest dump I have ever interviewed at and in a horrible section of town.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview was a stress type interview. I would have better prepared for a tough interview.

What are your general comments?

By far my worst inverview experience. However, the results of such a horrible experience greately enhanced my ability to interview. As a result I've arranged a bunch of mock interviews and prepared answers to all types of questions. I've also learned a bit about dealing with interviewers who lack personality.
