What are your general comments?

My interviews went SUPER especially compared to some other applicants who were getting outrageous social questions. My interviewers seemed to ask me questions I was able to answer and made me feel very comfortable. Mr. Rosso is also very charismatic and motivating! We were lucky that the weather cooperated for this interview date - 48 degrees and sunny with a slight wind in December...awesome!
