Interviewed with HR, but she didn't have all the internship details because she wasn't the final decision-maker. There were supposed to be three rounds of interviews in total, and the next step would have been an interview with the hiring manager.

Behavioral Technical
I applied through a job board and got an email invite to schedule a 30-min phone interview via Calendly, first come first served. They said I'd hear back in 1-2 days about the next steps, but I didn't. A few days later, with other offers on the table, I followed up. The recruiter asked about my other offers but didn't update me on my Gap application. Two weeks later, after I'd already accepted another job, I got an automated rejection. It was annoying how they selectively responded. The recruiter seemed nice initially, but then they ghosted. Really unimpressed with Gap recruiting's communication and disorganization.
