The selection for the internship (trainee) had only one round. It was an easy and relaxed process with behavioral and scenario-based questions. The interviewers were really nice and helpful all the way.

I applied online and about two weeks later, HR reached out via email to invite me for an interview. They also asked for my references at this point. Two weeks after the email, I went to their office for the interview. They had 7 graded questions and 4 questions that were not graded. Around 10 days after the interview, I got a call back.

The interviewer tried hard to make me feel comfortable during the interview, though I was still a little nervous because interviews can be stressful. They were friendly though, and that helped calm me down. I was also happy to find out the commute wasn't hard at all, since the office was right by a bus stop, making getting there easy. So, even though I was nervous at first, the interview was nice, and the easy commute was a big plus.
