I got an email about an internship opening, even though I had applied for a different one earlier. The process was just the email with an interview invite and a reference request. The interview was short, about 20 minutes, and then I got the offer pretty quickly.

It wasn't a typical "tell me about yourself" kind of interview. It was a very structured 40-minute interview, mostly with situation-based questions. They were really friendly, and I actually had a great experience even though I didn't get the job.

The interview process was quite drawn out, involving an assessment test that covered numerical and logical reasoning, followed by an in-tray exercise. Then, there was a panel interview, a meeting with the hiring manager, and also a meeting with peers. It was a long process overall, and I didn't get any feedback between the different stages.
