The interview felt pretty casual and moved at a quick pace. After it finished, they gave me a brief tour of the cafe. The staff seemed nice, making it a decent experience overall. It was a bit noisy because the cafe was busy, so it was tough to hear and concentrate, but that actually made it feel less intimidating.
