The first interview was very pleasant with one of the HR reps. This person was very respectful and just asked me standard questions regarding my experience. The 2nd interview was more technical. This person asked me how I would handle specific situations related to the position. The 2nd interview was also pleasant, but I do not think I provided the answers they were looking for.
