Process
The company took all the students interviewing for intern or full-time positions out to dinner the night before interviews started. The dinner was meant as a casual meet-the-interviewer event.
The next day, I interviewed with an experienced engineer. He mainly asked me behavioral questions, followed by a brain teaser and a probability question.
