Technical Coding Behavioral
Submitted an online application via the website on Day 1. Day 2, had a video interview with HireVue. Finished the VI on Day 5, which included 5 behavioral questions and 2 game tests. Received notification from HR on Day 10 about proceeding to the next round. Had interviews 1 and 2 on Day 13. Was rejected on Day 20. For an internship, the process felt lengthy. A complex video interview (VI) process is uncommon for internships, more typical for full-time roles. The job description was quite generic, suggesting the role might be more supportive or administrative with limited learning opportunities. The manager seemed uninterested during the online interview, even though the formal process continued. On the plus side, the HR team was very friendly and kept me informed at each stage. They let me know I was rejected because another candidate accepted the offer.

Behavioral Behavioral Behavioral Behavioral Presentation
straightforward process. You need to apply on their website. If your profile is deemed well aligned, you'll get a link to their hireview viertual interview assessment (or else a heartfelt rejection) in your mail. Questions asked in hireview are: Please describe a time you set challenging goals for a project and what you did to achieve these goals. Describe the situation, your actions, and the outcome. Tell us about a time you had to solve a problem at school or at work, but you were given confusing information. Please describe the situation, what you did, and the outcome. Tell us about a time you joined a group of people and worked with them to accomplish a common goal. Describe the situation, what actions you took, and the result. If you manage to ace that then you'll hear from the HR for a face to face online/offline interview. (pro-tip, as soon as you finish hireview assessment, connect with HR on linkedin immediately.)
