The interview process consisted of two 30-minute back-to-back interviews with a senior tax associate and then a tax manager. They asked behavioral questions as well as what I like to do outside of work. They got back to me two weeks later with a final decision.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and heard back within a week. Then I had two 30-minute interviews, one after the other, with a Manager and a Senior Manager. They were both really nice and easy to chat with. We mostly talked about my resume and they asked me some behavioral questions. About three weeks later, I got a call in the morning saying I got the internship, and then I got the offer letter that same evening.
