It was a pretty relaxed interview, mostly behavioral questions. We had one Zoom call that lasted about 30 minutes with two interviewers. I heard back a few months later about getting an offer, and I had to accept it within a week to secure my spot.

Behavioral
I had a phone interview a few months after applying. I phone interviewed for two positions in the program and was offered both. It was pretty casual and they were super nice. They knew I had been offered multiple positions and didn't pressure me to accept either one. I accepted the one that was a better fit. One thing to note is that they want students who already have housing arranged for the summer. This process was pretty late in the year compared to other internships.
