What are your general comments?

"I just typed a LONG review with all of the answers I gave...and SDN logged me out before I submitted, so the whole thing was lost. This will be the abridged version.... PM Shanomong for more info.... And FYI, if you don't get a call the night of the interview, DON'T freak out! I was called that night, but a friend wasn't called until Monday. She had an awful weekend because of that... but it turns out that some of the interviewers just don't do the same day thing. " Report Response
