It was a phone interview with about 4 or 5 programmers, though only 1 or 2 actually asked questions. They asked me about 10 textbook questions about C# OOP and SQL. It felt kind of weird and didn't seem very productive. Then they asked me what unique thing makes me good in a team, which is a pretty good question. Finally, they asked if I had any questions for them. And that was it.

Behavioral Technical

Quicken Loans handled my recruitment. I had about 2-3 calls with them where they asked general and behavioral questions about my background, career path, and availability. After a couple of weeks, the HR reached out about a Software Developer Intern position, and I accepted. A technical interview was then arranged via conference call with 3-4 members of the Title Source technology team. The interview covered topics like the .NET framework and object-oriented programming, along with some behavioral questions. I managed to answer about 80% of the technical questions correctly. The HR contacted me the following day to inform me of my selection, and I received the offer letter a few days later.

The whole interview happened over the phone and took about a week. First, I had an HR call to set up an interview. I got the call on a Thursday and the interview was scheduled for the next Tuesday and was about 30 minutes. They asked behavioral questions and we discussed my resume. I researched the company's ISMs and how their internships usually go, and I used the STAR method to answer. They told me I got chosen for the next round that same day. The next round was a group interview over the phone with 5-6 people from the team I would be working with. We talked about C#, .NET, SQL basics, my projects, and behavioral questions again. They asked a lot of questions really fast, so if you don't know something, don't pretend you do, they'll figure it out. It lasted about 30 minutes and had quite a few questions. I got the offer the same day. They are really friendly, fast, and smart. Don't try to fool them. Just know about the company culture and work. I Googled this info after scheduling my first interview.
