You apply for the summer internship via LinkedIn, and then they confirm by email. The first stage involved psychometric tests. After that, I had two interviews. The first was with HR, where they just wanted to know more about my profile, my strengths, and how I could add value to the company. Then the second interview was with the potential bosses, where they also asked about certain skills. The whole process was very pleasant, and even though I didn't get the position, everyone was very friendly.
