What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were friendly and took turns asking questions so you didn't have that awkwardness of having people sitting in the room taking notes that you weren't interacting with at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I was disappointed that they asked a couple of questions that I had already addressed in previous answers and wanted me to further expand or think of yet another example. I wish that had asked a wider variety of questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That all of the time spent there would be indoors and didn't require ever going outside (aside from arriving and departing) so I didn't need my snow boots after all!
