Behavioral Technical
So the interview was in two parts. First, I had a call with the recruiter who told me about the job offer and what I'd be doing day-to-day. Then, there was supposed to be an interview with some artists from the company to check my artistic and technical skills. But, I didn't get to the second interview because they couldn't sponsor visas for international applicants back then.

It was pretty straightforward but challenging. Lots of tricky questions, so you really need to know your 3D animation skills inside and out. To do well in this internship interview, make sure your whole portfolio is top-notch.
