It was a pretty straightforward behavioral interview. They asked general questions that you could answer by pointing to your resume. The main thing is to be confident because they want to see how you handle questions based on your experiences. You can use any experience from college or school that fits the question.

Interviewed for an intern position. The first round had three interviewers. The second round started with the initial three interviewers and then added three more. The gap between the two interviews wasn't too long, probably less than a month. I got questions about my background and how I'd handle specific work situations. I never heard back after the second interview, which struck me as odd.
