I had one 45min interview, and they said a second interview would happen a month later. Then a week later, I got an email saying I wouldn't be considered for the internship. They mentioned flying me out to a site to see if I'm a good fit.

The interview process was great. Hensel Phelps came to our career fair where you had a quick conversation with HP and handed them your resume. Come knowledgeable about the company and present yourself well. Later that evening I received a call that they would like to interview me for an internship. The next day I met with an operation manager and project engineer. The interview only lasted 15-20 min and was pretty typical. No crazy out of the box questions. Answer questions confidently and if you don't know something do not be scared to say that. An internship is a place you learn. Use your weaknesses as something you look to build on in the summer internship.

This initial interview was pretty easy. They asked some general questions about my previous work experience, any leadership roles I've had, and my relevant coursework. It wasn't too difficult, just straightforward questions about why I picked my major and what I hoped to gain from the internship. The two people interviewing me were really nice and friendly, making it easy to chat with them. Basically, if you know your resume inside and out and can explain how everything on it has helped you grow professionally, you should do fine.
