Candidate-reported interview process

It was an on-campus interview that lasted about 30 minutes. The recruiter mainly asked about my resume and my interest in the company. They mentioned that if they were interested, I would be invited to their Pittsburgh office.

I applied online for an IT Internship. I had to do a video interview with 8 questions asked through my webcam. The next day, I went in for an in-person interview. Three different people interviewed me for about 30 minutes each. It was a pretty easy experience since it was my first time interviewing.

The interviewers were very nice. They talked with me about my education experience and projects that are listed on my resume. It was not a difficult interview. I just needed to explain details about my projects and answer some behavior questions. I enjoyed it.
