I applied through a special program at my school and was contacted by phone for an interview a few weeks later. It was a pretty relaxed interview, I spoke with the internship coordinator, and then two departments that were interested in me. All fit/behavioral type questions, going over my resume. Everyone was very nice.

Got an interview invite about two weeks after applying. It was a quick 30-minute screening call. They asked general questions, nothing technical or behavioral. They gave feedback pretty fast.
