Behavioral Technical
It was a one hour phone interview. The interviewers took turns reading out the questions. Most of the questions were your traditional behavioral questions. There were a few cloud provider (AWS, Azure) questions but nothing overly technical. I tried reaching out to the manager who scheduled the interview a few weeks after but did not receive any response.

Behavioral Other
The interview process was straightforward. It began with basic personality and hypothetical questions. It wasn't technical since it's an entry-level internship and they plan to train on the job. It was a phone interview and by the end of the call, I was offered the job. Pretty much if they call, they intend on hiring.
