I learned about this internship through my university. The application process is pretty standard, and they'll let you know if you've made it to the next stage. The interview itself was mostly behavioral, with typical questions asked to all candidates. It was a panel interview, meaning several current engineers asked questions. Overall, it was a good experience. I think they're looking for someone who fits in well with the team.
