Behavioral Case
I had a recruiter screening call, then a behavioral interview with a hiring manager from the team, and finally a case interview with a more technical manager. The case was medium difficulty, and I found it challenging but ultimately received an offer.

Behavioral Technical
First, there was a screening process, then a technical interview. Both were pretty easy, but the screening is just annoying corporate jargon. The technical interview is pretty common sense, just make sure to brush up on some basic math beforehand.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a coworker.

Behavioral Technical
The whole process was divided in 3 different interviews. The first one with the campus recruiter to be sure all the information about my profile and the offer are compatible. Then a second one with a manager of the department to see my motivation, talk about my experiences and what I am excepting from the internship. And to finish, a last interview with 2 different managers, one from the department and one from the closest department I would work directly with. The main purpose was to check about my behaviour and how I had reacted to different situations (stress, managing issues, low communication, etc.).
