It was a basic star interview for an entry-level position. We talked about my resume and relevant school projects. Then there were panel style interviews with 5-6 engineers from different sites, and each engineer had varying disciplines. Practice STAR questions, be able to explain your resume in depth, and be prepared to answer questions about it.
