The interview process was really friendly and they took the time to go through my application and resume. They even offered suggestions for improving my resume! Everyone I talked to was super nice, and it felt like they genuinely wanted to hire people who were interested. It seems more geared towards graduate interns, as the undergraduate intern infrastructure isn't quite there yet, making it a bit more informal than formal.
