Behavioral Technical Coding
The HR was kinda slow with getting back and scheduling stuff. I went through a HR chat and then a technical assessment which included a test. A final chat with some tech folks got cancelled last minute because they hired someone else. They really need to be quicker with scheduling and keeping people updated.

Behavioral Coding System Design Presentation
RH prescreening then manager interview, followed by a take-home coding and system design project. This project was then presented to two team members, involving a Q&A session. There was no feedback from the HR person. The HR person rescheduled the initial call multiple times, sometimes without any warning. The take-home project was excessively long. There was an 'optional' part, but not doing it put candidates at a disadvantage since others might dedicate more time to it. The take-home was presented to two developers from the team. They asked questions, and from their perspective, the interview was of good quality. Great vibe. No recruiter feedback afterwards despite follow-ups.

Coding Behavioral
After I sent in my CV, they sent me a more detailed description of the internship. I had a week to do a coding project and send it in via GitHub if I was still interested. After that, the people who did well got invited onsite for a fit interview and a quick whiteboard coding question.
