Then, you'll have a face-to-face interview with the manager and a co-worker you'll be working with. You'll go over projects on your resume. There are no leetcode-style problems.

Behavioral Technical
I submitted my CV and got a call from the recruiter for a Summer Intern role. The interview itself was pretty straightforward. They have a great intern program, and I'd definitely recommend it. The people there are technically very sharp, but the role I interviewed for was in support services, not engineering. The company mentioned that if I wanted to work more hours, it would mean transitioning to a contractor role, which can be a difficult shift. They don't offer much support for contractors, though.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Describe a time you experienced conflict with a coworker or supervisor and explain how you managed it.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had an interview scheduled and was on time for it, but nobody ever joined the call. I didn't get any heads-up that it was canceled and just waited the whole time. It took two weeks to get a reply, and they said they had already decided to offer the job to someone else and had canceled my interview without telling me.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Recruiter interview, followed by two technical rounds.
