I was invited for an internship interview, and did it the following day. Other departments' internships had started, so I expected the hiring process to move quickly. It took 6 weeks to hear back from HR. The interview was casual, and the interviewer was kind and friendly.

The first step was a phone screen with pretty simple questions. They asked about my work experience, what I'm looking for in this role, and if I was interested in specific departments. I applied for a design internship, but the HR person wasn't sure if design internships were available and instead told me about a program where interns can try out different departments.
