Behavioral Technical

I started with a phone screening where they asked me about basic company info and my suitability for the role. Then, I had a video interview with four people: two from the team I applied to and two from HR. This interview was mostly behavioral and situational questions. The whole thing was pretty fast, and I got the decision pretty quickly. Note that other internships might have different interview styles or questions.
