Applied in January and got a phone screening in February. They rescheduled it twice last minute. It had standard screening questions. After asking about my internship search progress, I mentioned I had another offer with a 3-week deadline. They promised to let me know about moving forward the next week and said they planned to hire within two weeks. I followed up a week later, still interested. They didn't reply for 5 days, then sent an email saying I wasn't selected.
