Technical System Design Behavioral
It was a technical screening where we introduced ourselves and then went over some system design knowledge based on my past work. The interviewer gave positive feedback, a verbal job offer, some info about the next steps and where I'd be working, and even suggested tech I might like. Sadly, the internship program was cut due to the economy, so I was let go. But, the interviewer followed up saying they were really impressed with my experience and would love to offer me other opportunities in the future that fit my interests.
