I had a pre screen interview and then a month later they called to schedule another interview with a panel, but they said this was a new opening. Not sure what happened, I never received a callback from the person that originally interviewed me.

I applied and a few weeks later, I was notified that I had advanced. I then got an email detailing potential interview questions. The interview itself was conducted over Zoom with approximately six interviewers. They read questions from a script, making it feel less like a conversation. Many interviewers had their cameras off. Despite it being an unpaid internship, I felt like they perceived my presence as a waste of their time.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Would you be comfortable interviewing someone who was harmed by our client, given that the information you gather might be used to defend our client rather than help the interviewee? Does this situation give you any hesitation? Please explain why or why not.

It was a Zoom interview. They gave me the questions beforehand and only asked those. Everyone's cameras were off and they were very formal. I kept my camera on the entire time. It lasted about 30 minutes. If you're well-prepared for the questions they give you, you'll do great.
