The whole process was great, very smooth and coordinated. We were kept updated all the time and there were no delays. HR handled redundancy really well. There were 3 interviews, and the difficulty was average.

It was a really simple process. I had one chat with the person who would be supervising the intern role. We talked about the job and my background, both professional and academic. I also got to ask them questions about the role and the company.

I started with a phone screen with the recruiter. Then, I had an in-person interview with 3 people from the company, although it was initially planned for 4, one person was remote. The first interviewer focused on behavioral questions like strengths and weaknesses. The second interviewer, who I'd report to, didn't say much, which was unexpected. The third interviewer went through my entire resume with many questions, more than everyone else combined. I thought this person would be more of a quick check. What was frustrating was that they asked about things I had already explained, making it seem like they weren't fully listening. After the interview, they said it would take almost a week for a decision, and they later emailed to say they were moving forward with other candidates. It was disappointing, but I appreciate the transparency.

HR was pretty good about responding when I asked them things. It took a long time to hear back after the interviews, and it turned out they weren't going to make an offer. The phone call was directly with the hiring manager, which was great because I could get instant feedback on what they expected me to know. The in-person part was a long day with three separate one-on-one chats with people from the hiring manager all the way up to the C-level. They did offer refreshments.
