What impressed you positively?

Friendly tour guide.

What impressed you negatively?

Buildings seemed run-down, such as all the water fountains were broken.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some of the ways they were going to ask interview questions such as being drilled hard on the pharmacy experience line of questioning, and that the interview would be closed-file.

What are your general comments?

I figure it went as well as it could have. It was interesting though that one of the interviewers looked very uninterested in being there, at times he would close his eyes for a good 5 seconds while you were talking to him as if he wasn't paying any attention. The other interviewer was very friendly and nice though. The questions more or less followed that of SDN feedback, the only differences being follow-up questions based on exactly how you answered.
