Technical Behavioral
It was one interview, split between technical and behavioral. They asked a few technical questions about Java, backend systems, and my past work, plus some behavioral ones about stress management. It felt pretty easy, and it was for an entry-level role.

Behavioral Technical
For an internship, the interview was pretty standard. It was a one-hour interview with a Tech Lead and a Software Developer. They asked what classes I took in my program and which ones interested me the most. They also asked some personality questions to see if I'd fit with the team. Overall, it was a pretty chill interview.
