Question 1
In the directions for the challenge, it states that your reasoning and the methods you apply to the challenge will be the basis for the 2nd interview, if you pass. This was not the case. The 2nd interview was a litany of how you work with other people, how assertive you can be with difficult clients and how you would "motivate" teammates to get the job done on time and under budget.

Interview
Very laid back and informal. Seems to be more of a get-to-know-you type meeting to see if you have the right background and personality to fit in. Once you get past that, they give you an assessment test for the position and you move on if you do well enough.
Had an informal 'get to know you' interview. Was relaxed and comfortable. Discussed my experiences to see how I would fit in company and position. She mentioned another position I would possibly be a better fit for which I really appreciated. I liked the honesty.
