Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty quick, with just one interview round. It leaned more towards behavioral questions than technical ones. I didn't find it super tough, but it might differ depending on the team, which is typical for places like this.

Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty standard interview for an internship. Mostly behavioral questions. They asked about skills I listed on my resume, and also about my career goals and plans after I graduate. It was a very casual zoom call. The interviewer told me about what they do at their lab and described some of the stuff I would potentially be working on if I got the internship.

Behavioral
I applied in January on their website and got an email for a Zoom interview about a month later. They normally have multiple interviewers, but a lot of technical staff were at a conference, so it was just one person interviewing me. They asked mainly behavioral questions and asked about some of my projects.

- Tell me about a time you solved a technical problem in a project outside of school or work.
