Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This was one of the best companies I interviewed for and I learnt lots from the interviewers. Clearly they were experienced, and kept providing hints throughout the interview. The only limiting factor was lapses in my knowledge. I'm anxiously awaiting for results, but even if not selected, I'm deeply impressed by the interview process, and shall try again later sometime.
