Behavioral Technical

For interns, there are two interview rounds. The first is on campus, and the second is at headquarters. If you are from far away, you can do the second interview remotely. In the first round, most questions are about your past experiences, focusing on your character traits and how you'd use them in your studies or job. The second interview is similar, but might include job-specific or technical questions. Everyone is graded using a PBM rubric.

The interview process was mostly behavioral questions with a few technical ones. It was a good experience, and I even met another manager. There were two interviews: a phone screening first, and then one over Zoom. The stress level was low.
