I had an interview that lasted for an hour with three researchers, and before that, there was a recruiter call. They mostly asked about the school projects I listed on my CV. They also inquired if I had a PowerPoint prepared for a self-introduction.

Behavioral Technical
The process started with a brief and somewhat disorganized phone interview. Following that, I was invited for an onsite interview where a panel of four interviewers met me. Interestingly, they didn't seem aware of the initial phone call. The onsite portion focused heavily on the lab's history, with minimal questions directly related to the internship. They did ask a lot about my prior work experience.
