Process
One phone interview, 30 minutes.
HR then forgot to call me for a few weeks to inform me that I got the position.
Generally, the process was very easy and straightforward. The engineers conducting the phone interview were clearly busy and stressed.
Also, interns are often shuffled to end up working for a different manager than the one with whom they interviewed.
Questions

Now, I'm going to modify your problem hypothetically. How do you fix that?
