It was a pretty straightforward and good interview process. It was interactive and consisted of behavioral questions, which I found to be a decent experience. The pay was understandable for an internship. Overall, I had a very positive and open-minded experience. The job requirements were clear, and I understood my responsibilities.

It was a good interview experience. I had two interviews, one on Zoom and one in person. Two interviewers were present. I received offers from both. The work isn't stressful for a student helper, which is good to try. However, the weekly work hours during the normal semester are only 10, which isn't that high. You can just work when you have free time.
