What are your general comments?
The interview experience was good. There were three interviews each 30 mins each. The 30 mins goes by really fast, especially since the interviews are set up to be stress free. I did have one really bad interview with an interviewer who really didn't care about anything positive in my application. I am sure she wanted to test my patience, but I would not go to the interviews not expecting at least one curve ball of a stressful interviewer.
