The interview process started off great with good communication from HR, but the actual interview itself quickly went downhill. The questions asked weren't relevant to the position, and the interviewer didn't seem interested in discussing the role or the summer project details.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • None of their questions were relevant for the work I was being interviewed for - that was the hardest part about the interview.
  • There were no objective measures to quantify how the interview was going.

I applied online for a summer internship and heard back via email to schedule an interview on campus through a Google Doc. There were two 30-minute interviews with different people, covering typical interview topics. A few weeks later, I got an email saying I didn't get the internship.
