The interview process was super easy. First, I had to record myself on video answering some questions. Then, I had an online interview. The last step was visiting the Sherwin-Williams store where I would be interning. We just chatted about the internship and what to expect. It didn't really feel like an interview, but be ready just in case.

Had a phone interview, which was the only step. The interviewer was late for the call, but the interview was good and high energy. She started by sharing her own experience at the company.
