It was a pretty easy interview, the questions were more about personality than the job itself. I had plenty of time to think about my answers and ask questions, and it felt really comfortable. There were three interviewers: one permanent employee and two other student employees. The interview itself lasted 30 minutes, and the whole hiring process took about two weeks.

The interview itself had three people: the hiring manager, and two others who worked directly in that field.
