I had a quick phone interview to start, then a longer video one. The first was with HR and asked about my background. The second was short too, with someone from the department.

So I started with a phone screen with HR, then had an in-person with the hiring manager. The last thing was I had to send in writing samples to the hiring manager, which they asked for at the end of our interview. They offered me the internship that same week.

Behavioral Other
Had an online recorded virtual interview and then a phone call interview with the recruiter. It wasn't a great interview, as the recruiter asked the same questions from the recorded interview, making it redundant. The recruiter also asked if I could apply to other internships but wouldn't expedite the process, just wanted to ask about other imprints.
