Behavioral

I applied via email and heard back in 3 days to schedule an online interview. No assessment was needed, it was just a direct interview with HR. The HR person asked typical interview questions, like what I knew about the company, my strengths, weaknesses, and my 3-5 year plan. No technical questions came up. The next day, HR called with an internship offer.
