"My only complaint was the lack of time allotted for the interview. 30 minutes is not enough time to adequately be questioned by the interviewer AND have time to ask questions and get a feel for the interviewer/s. I had several questions prepared for the interviewers but only two minutes left once I was allowed to ask them." Report Response
