What are your general comments?

"The interviewers are hard to read. It was hard to tell if they were interested in what I was saying. I heard other applicants says it's like a conversation in the interview, but it was not for me. I felt like they just asked me a few specific questions and that was it, so I was worried at first. It turned out well in the end though so don't be discouraged if you don't get a good vibe from them." Report Response
