It was a single round interview with the direct hiring manager. First, I had a nice call from HR to schedule the interview and it happened exactly on time. The interview lasted about 40 minutes and started with talking about my interests and past experiences. Then I had to present my undergrad projects and challenges I faced. The manager then told me about the work environment and shared about his own college days and degrees. By the end, he said we'll be working together this summer. It was a great interview and the HR people were very nice and helpful afterwards.

Applied online and heard back about a week later to set up an initial phone chat. About three weeks after that, I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. A week after that, I got scheduled for an in-person interview. HR and department folks were at all the interviews. HR asked me situational questions, and the department people asked about my experience. They seemed to be using a set list of questions. For every question, I was asked to give an example of a situation or technical problem and explain how I handled it.
