• After last time internship interview, because cannot part time at next quarter, so they directly scheduled this full time interview today
• The entire interview process was definitely beyond my expectation because of the communication is totally different with any other interview before. Maybe it is because my English skills did improve a lot. Or maybe both interviewers are foreigner speakers so they won't talk too quickly. But all way, it was a unprecedented  pleasant interview experience.
