Interviewed by 3 managers one at a time in a very small room. First manager asked me about where I worked before and how it related to the position that was available. The second manager asked me about why I wanted to work here and how I heard about the position that was available. The third manager asked me similar questions the first two did but also told me about his previous experience years ago as a sales rep.
