The interview process involved a recruiter phone call followed by a Zoom interview. It was a pretty straightforward process with fewer rounds than typically seen for internships. It seems HR handles most of the intern hiring, so you likely won't get to interact with the team or the hiring manager.

I got the interview offer before OCI, then had an in-person interview with 6 people from different levels. Got the offer 2 weeks later. The questions were pretty standard and direct -- they mostly asked about my resume's hobbies section. I interviewed with the PE/MA team.
