It started with a recruiter phone screen, then a technical interview with a lot of behavioral questions, and then a final HR round. The whole process took about two weeks. They kept me updated well throughout.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
Recruiting with this company was... something else. Had a company tour through a student organization, had my resume enter the portal through that. Had a total of 6 emails asking me to apply for various positions, every single time had a recruiter reach out asking for my availability, then silence. A few weeks went by and then I was asked to do a technical interview with 24 hours notice. A week later, I got a phone call from my recruiter asking to set up an initial phone call... after my technical interview. When I told her this, she then forwarded me to a behavioral interview the next day (interview was on a Wednesday). Thursday afternoon I got my offer, with a response due Monday. Overall, interviews themselves were not bad. My "technical" interview asked no real technical questions, just me walking through my resume, explaining relevant technologies and projects I've completed. The behavioral interview was standard, same typical questions you get for every interview. Declined because of low pay - a rising senior in college should not be making $21/hour in an engineering internship (at least not in St. Louis). Especially because its only 10 weeks not 12.

Behavioral Technical
Applied, then had a phone chat with a recruiter. Then I had to send in recorded answers to some questions for the hiring team. The last step was a 45 minute talk with the hiring manager. It all took under a month. Everyone was friendly.
