"If you have one of the later interview times in your group, there is this sort of awkward waiting time in the atrium outside of the conference room.

It was kind of nerve-racking to just sit there and wait for the interviewer to come get us!" Report Response

"Just be confident and be yourself. It will all work out in the end. The 25 minutes go by REALLY fast...it felt like 10 minutes when someone knocked on the door to indicate that 25 minutes were up!
