So I applied, and a few days later got contacted to schedule a phone interview. It was pretty short, around 20 minutes. Mostly they asked about my background and skills, and how they fit the role. The interviewer was really nice, which made it easy to chat. After that, I had to do a translation test. She said she'd let me know about an in-person interview if they decided to move forward. The next week, I was setting up the in-person interview. Two people talked to me for about 30 minutes, and then another person interviewed me for another 30 minutes. It's a really nice and welcoming office. Then, I got emailed another translation test.

The online application was pretty simple. A few days later, I got an email to set up a phone interview for the next week. The call lasted about 20-30 minutes and then I was invited for an in-person interview. About a week after that, I got the offer. The phone interview was mostly about my past work experience, like my duties and learning curves, and how I'd handle certain hypothetical situations. The in-person interviews were more focused on the internship duties themselves and how I'd use my existing knowledge in the new role. They also asked what I'd be open to learning during the internship.
