Candidate-reported interview process

It was easy, mostly behavioral and enjoyable. The environment was not tense and I could joke with the interviewers. There were 3 interviewers on panels that switched with question asking.

Had a really casual phone chat about my past experience. It was more like a conversation, and I was interviewed by another intern. We talked about my specialties and what I'm good at in the field. They also clarified my availability and any confusing parts of the job posting.

They set you up for an interview which happened to be with four people (Two of them were project managers). Most questions were behavioral ones. The interview was online and lasted for ~40 min.
