Had a nice chat with two managers. They asked standard questions and some of their own. I had lots of time to ask questions. It felt pretty informal and friendly. They gave off a good vibe. They did ask some cliche questions like about weaknesses and strengths. The only thing is I felt that they were not 100% clear about what they were looking for and I would have answered the questions differently if it had been clear.

It started out fine. But then the hiring manager wasn't very nice and asked a bunch of really basic, simple questions about Outlook and MS Office, which didn't seem relevant. Overall, the interview was pretty dull.
