What impressed you negatively?
They mentioned that we should tell them if any of our interviewers asked unfair or inappropriate questions, but followed up with "although usually it's just a misunderstanding"
--> My interviewer asked some questions that I found inappropriate (I will not list it as I am afraid it could be self-identifying) but I didn't say anything because I'm afraid they will say it was "just a misunderstanding" and then I'll make my chances of getting in lower.
