The interview took about 15 to 30 minutes and was conducted by two women in a large room where other interviews were also taking place. I was interviewed earlier than scheduled because I arrived early. It was a very casual setting. I didn't get the internship because I was looking for a part-time position, but they only had full-time openings.

The interview was unusual, it didn't begin with the standard 'tell us about yourself.' This meant I had to quickly answer direct questions while trying to connect them to the role. They cut me off when I tried asking questions after the interview and didn't respond to my follow-up emails.
