So basically, there are two parts to this. First, a quick call over the phone, and then if that goes well, you come in for an in-person interview. The in-person one is a deeper dive into what you can bring to the company.

I applied with my resume, and then had a virtual and in-person interview. Later, I had a phone interview. It wasn't too difficult, but it felt a bit disorganized.

Behavioral Technical

They ask a lot about your goals, workflow, and basic engineering practices. They also ask what clubs you're interested in and why, and what you want to get out of the internship. You'll also meet with at least 3 leaders from different departments; they're all friendly even though it might seem nerve-wracking.
