I applied for the internship through a referral. A few days later, I had a phone screen. At the end of that call, I scheduled my in-person interview. I interviewed on a Friday and received the offer the following Wednesday. It was a pretty straightforward interview with two employees from PAE. They asked about my resume, some behavioral stuff, why I was interested in the industry and the job, and my Excel skills. The interviewers were friendly, and it felt pretty relaxed. They also took the time to answer my questions at the end.

I got hired by the NC after a short interview. They said someone would contact me but nobody did. However, I got an offer letter in the mail via FEDEX a few days later.
