The process was structured.
The first interview went well, had good discussion with the interviewer. Was able to answer the questions effectively. I went about explaining really slow even though I knew the answer, don't do that. Explain directly.
Second interviewer seemed as if he didn't want to be there. Asked question in a confusing manner.
Overall, good learning experience
