Behavioral Technical
My first interview was a bit challenging because the questions were super complex for an intern position. I had a second interview and got another interviewer who was more laidback and casual, wanting to know more about me to test chemistry to join her team. I'd say it depends on the person interviewing you to make it a difficult or easy interview.

Behavioral Other
I applied through my campus database and had an on-campus interview. The interviewer was very laid back, almost too laid back. The interview was a bit odd. Didn't ask any of the typical questions and they also seemed to not have any openings, which was odd.
