It was a standard panel interview, with different people on the panel taking turns asking questions. A recruiter called to schedule the interview. HR talked about when offers might be made and what the next steps in the process would be. The whole thing took about three weeks.

This was the longest interview process I've ever been through, spanning two months from the initial interview to the offer. It consisted of four virtual rounds: a behavioral interview, a technical interview, and a management interview. The questions were challenging but appropriate for a technical role. The HR team was helpful and pleasant throughout.

For one of the initial steps, I was sent a link to a website where I had to record answers to some questions. This was part of the screening and was pretty unique compared to other interviews I've done. I thought it was efficient.

The interview went well, but unfortunately, due to the company being acquired by Chevron, they weren't able to take on any interns. They were good about contacting us after the merger to let us know that no intern positions would be available.
