Technical Coding
My technical interview covered a bunch of Python stuff. They really wanted to see if I knew how to make and use functions well, like understanding parameters, what they return, and scope. Also, I got tested on how well I could use and change basic data structures like lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples. The questions were about using these structures to solve problems, like making things faster, handling complicated issues, and writing code that's easy to reuse and looks good. Basically, it was all about real coding skills, thinking hard, and using Python basics for practical stuff.

Behavioral Technical
It was basically just a behavorial technical. I think there was the recruiter, manager, and 1-2 engineers on the call. TBH it was pretty chill I think I literally talked about life stuff in the interview at some points.

Behavioral Technical
Got referred by a friend and they gave me an email to reach out to the HQ in Pasedena. The process felt a bit long and confusing, but I eventually got set up with a phone call with the hiring team in San Diego. They then scheduled me for an in-person interview the following week. I was interviewed by three younger employees who were really welcoming and kind. They asked basic questions, nothing designed to trip me up. They briefly asked about my previous jobs and more about my involvement in clubs and any leadership roles I've had. I was also asked about my experience with CAD software and another program they use. They also checked my availability. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work out for the internship in the end.
