The recruiter reached out to set up a virtual interview. We talked about basic computer science ideas and then the internship program details. Then we had time for questions, and they told me about the next steps.

Behavioral Technical

The hiring process was pretty chill and didn't involve many technical questions, focusing more on my studies and past work. I got a low-paying offer that included a drug test and background check for clearance. I accepted it initially for the experience but was later strung along. They offered to let me do the screening closer to home, giving me a time and location, but when I got there, they weren't expecting me and nothing was set up, so I wasted a lot of time. Then, I was required to come to the office for everything, so I traveled to OKC at my own expense and completed it. However, I was later told I'd need to return for a week of training before the semester ended, even though the job was advertised as an internship and they knew I was a student. I appreciated the offer but explained I couldn't risk being misled further or dealing with more unexpected issues. They should have been upfront about everything.
