I applied through my school and had an online interview with 5 general questions that popped up one by one on the screen. Two people were there: a PM and their manager. They really wanted to confirm that I would definitely come to the office twice a week and that my communication skills were solid.

We had a WebEx interview that lasted about 25 minutes with the Senior Messaging Specialist and the IT Manager. They asked me questions mostly about soft skills, like how I handle situations, my experiences with project management, and customer interactions. There were no technical questions. They said it would be good to answer clearly and concisely. Oh, and they reminded me to ask about my responsibilities at the end!
