Process
After applying online, I received an email from a recruiter about a month later.
For the internship position, the standard is two phone/Google Doc technical interviews. However, I ended up having a third interview to provide more data. Usually, this indicates that the interviewers were undecided after the first two interviews, which is not generally a good sign.
