Candidate-reported interview process

It was a simple interview with basic questions about who you are, your background, etc. However, in the final interview, the managers asked for prior experience in the field, which is quite difficult for an intern looking for their first opportunity.

It was a pretty standard interview. I had a phone interview first, and then I came in for an in-person interview.

Standard interview with two interviewers from the area I was applying for and one interviewer from talent acquisition. The interview went really well, with questions about how I could contribute to the company and add knowledge. It ended with a request for qualities and defects that someone in my family would say about me.
