💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

School website, SDN feedback.

What impressed you positively?
The weather. Seriously, I think human beings are meant to live in that climate, rather than the NY climate.

That there would be no coffee in or near the presentation room (first thing in the morning).
