Behavioral Technical
I applied in November and got a call to set up a phone interview in late December, which actually happened in early January. The hiring manager and someone from the internship committee interviewed me. They were super nice and understanding. It was all behavioral questions and lasted about 40 minutes. They said I'd hear back in a couple of weeks, but I reached out to HR after a month because I hadn't heard anything. HR mentioned they were waiting for all the hiring managers to pick their interns before sending out decisions. Unfortunately, my specific hiring manager had already chosen someone else. Then, a few months later, HR called me saying another position opened up and I just had to take it.

A recruiter reached out to me about an internship opportunity. I had one phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. They gave a brief overview of the role and the project I'd be working on, asked four behavioral questions and one technical question, and then I had time to ask them questions. They mentioned they'd let me know by the end of the month.
