Questions were not that difficult to answer but the overall structure of the process was interesting. The second or third person was trying to upset or challenge me through insult or any other method. Met with two directors - one was asking the questions and the other taking notes. Felt like one was there to ask questions and the other was there to be a distraction. As well, I was given vague, hypothetical situations and asked "what I would do".
