my interviewer had an excellent poker face. didn't give too much with my responses, so he was a little hard to read. so, when he asked about the biggest mistake ive ever made, i answered honestly, and didnt know if I had just blown my entire interview.

They had a surprise written exam at the beginning of the in-person interview. It was lengthy but broad. 3 or 4 questions each on half a dozen topics. You didn't need to get everything correct, it was more to see if you can put together coherent answers under pressure.
