They started by talking about my resume and asking how I found out about the job, what my motivation was, and to tell them about myself. Then they got straight into asking about my previous job, my previous internship, my college degree, and any real-world projects I've worked on.

I applied through my campus internship portal and had my online interview in late 2024. It was a 30-minute dialogue with the hiring manager. They explained the job responsibilities after asking some basic, non-technical questions at the start. There was only one round. Some internships here are project-based with different requirements, and my role didn't need experience with technical tools beyond basic Ms Office. The interview was pretty casual, and the hiring manager answered my questions well.

I applied on their website and heard back from the recruiter about 3 weeks later. They let me choose my interview date. I first had a 10-minute HR interview, and then 3 days later, I had a 20-minute user interview. I haven't heard anything back since then, which is disappointing. It's disrespectful to ghost candidates, and it gives a bad impression of their hiring process. They should really improve this.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The hiring process involves two main parts. Initially, there was a phone conversation with a recruiter to do a pre-screen, which is basically to check if the candidate could be a good fit. After that, the next step was to get ready for a case study to show off critical thinking skills during a virtual meeting with a group of managers. For some other positions, they might ask for a presentation instead of a case study response.
