Behavioral Technical Case

First, the company and the team's responsibilities were presented. Then, they asked me about myself, my motivation, my resume, and my qualifications. After that, they tested my technical knowledge with some rather indirect questions. Finally, there was a small case study with calculations. The conversation was friendly and felt like an equal exchange.

We had an initial pre-screening call where they asked about my education, my tasks on projects, the quality of those projects, and some technical stuff. After that, I got an email for an online interview, and I had to give a 10-minute presentation about my job-related projects.

Behavioral Other

The interview was about 25 minutes long and had two interviewers from the department, not the recruiter as initially stated. It started with a quick intro from the interviewers, then I introduced myself. They briefly explained the internship format and asked about my expectations for a good internship, my definition of teamwork, and what I would contribute to the team. There was a spontaneous practical question about suggesting event program ideas without budget constraints. They also asked about my views on remote work. Towards the end, they covered formal aspects like vacation policy and whether the internship was mandatory or optional.
