What impressed you negatively?

"No negative impressions. I would just say prepare yourself that you may not be interviewed at your assigned time. When it comes to interviews, obviously some will be longer/shorter than others. I was just prepared to go in around my assigned time. However, I went in about 45 minutes before that time, other about 45 minutes after their time.
