What are your general comments?

"I believe the interviewers are nice people to begin with. With that said, they were fairly apathetic and cynical during the interview. From the moment the doors closed, everyone's facial expressions became emotionless and serious. Don't be surprised if they bounce remarks off one another towards you, in response to your answers. They're trying to push your buttons and trying to see how you reason, respond, react. Throughout the interview, all of my interviewers just stared at me, without emotion. One yawned, another looked around, the last one just stared. You can already tell that one was the good cop (quiet, made remarks), one the bad cop (asked questions) and the last person only served to exploit any holes in your logic or spin off questions. All in all, it is essentially impossible to read the interviewers but strive to do your best. In the end everyone smiled, but it creates an intense atmosphere for sure! " Report Response
