It was a few steps. First, I sent in my CV and answered some questions about my studies and why I wanted to do the internship. Then, there was a test of my thinking skills. The next part, which I didn't get to, was a verbal interview I would have had to do myself.

First, I filled out an application with tons of info about my background (studies, certs, work history, references) and skills for the internship. If I got past that, I had to do a Hirevue assessment in two parts. The first part was a game-based assessment (calculus, memory, sequences) plus over 100 personality questions. The second part was a pre-recorded interview. The next step would have been an HR interview, but I didn't make it that far, so I'm just sharing what I heard about that part.
