Technical Behavioral Other
I applied online by sending my resume to their official mail and got a response within 2 days. The first round was a telephonic interview where the interviewer described the job role and then asked technical questions. The second round was an online test on aptitude and verbal reasoning. The third round was an HR discussion with the CTO. After 2 days, the result was declared and I was selected.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I submitted my resume at a college career fair. A few days later, I got an email to schedule an informal phone chat. It was about 20 minutes, covering my background and I got to ask about the company. Over 2 months, I did 3 more one-hour technical interviews (one on the phone, the last two writing on a code-sharing site), and then got an offer with great pay and benefits.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I dropped off my resume at a career fair and they emailed me back pretty quickly to set up a behavioral interview. It wasn't too hard, mostly questions about my resume, projects, and how familiar I am with data structures. After that, the technical interview was set for two weeks later. It wasn't too difficult, but I think I could've done better if I'd prepped more. Overall, it was a good experience, and the people I talked to at Intentional were really nice. They even helped out by giving hints and explanations if I didn't know an answer.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I went through 3 interviews for the intern role. First up was an HR chat with some standard behavioral questions. Then, I had two technical interviews focusing on core computer science concepts. I felt good about the second round, but the third round had a tricky algorithm/data structure design problem that I couldn't quite crack. Honestly, some of these questions feel a bit luck-based, which is common in interviews anyway. While the overall experience was decent, the second interview was a bit of a letdown. The interviewer was unresponsive after I offered a solution, and I had to prompt them to see if they were still engaged. When I did manage to solve the complex problem, but not in the most efficient way, they gave a vague 'good' response. This led me to believe I had the right answer, and I didn't push for optimization, which turned out to be a mistake given their odd reasoning.
