The interview felt like it went well overall, though there were a couple of genuinely tricky moments that made it sharper than a typical screen. In the behavioral portion, a few questions did not come as easily as I wanted, even though I think I handled most of them.

Location: Chicago Heights, IL. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
