There were three interviewees and the whole thing took about twenty minutes. They each took turns asking questions, and it was pretty friendly overall. The interviews covered common questions, how well you align with company goals, and your overall cultural fit. They give you a lot of space to talk, so be ready for that.

Presentation Behavioral

The interview was on campus and lasted about 25 minutes. Three interviewers were present, and I didn't know who they would be beforehand. I had to give a short 3-5 minute presentation about the department I was applying to at the beginning. After that, it was a standard interview with competency-based questions like "Tell me about a time when...". The decision took over a month, which was the worst part. The whole process from applying to getting the decision took two months.
