The interview process was smooth and easy to navigate. Each unit followed a similar format—background, technical, and interpersonal. I was asked about my experience as stated in my resume, then asked more specific questions pertaining to the subject matter or the unit I was interviewing with.

The interview process started pretty late in the Spring, later than most internships. But they gave me an offer pretty quickly. I received a written "tentative" offer and then I got the info for a background check. The background check wasn't done when my internship was supposed to start, so they told me to wait. I kept checking in, they kept telling me I could start as soon as the background check was over. They said they could extend the internship into August. So I didn't work all summer, and couldn't get the college credit I wanted. I wish they had stopped stringing me along.
