What are your general comments?

Only had 2 interviewers because one of them couldn't get away from another appointment. Both interviewers were very nice and did not ''grill'' me on any topics. I was told at the workshop to make the answers succinct so they could learn more from you so I ended up getting asked about 16 questions. It flowed really well and we were even laughing a few times.
