I applied online.
Two rounds: the first one was technical and with a staff engineer, mostly asked about my research experience. The second round was with the hiring manager. Questions asked:
- Introduce yourself
- Why are you interested in this position?
- Most favorite and least favorite course
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- What do you expect from this internship?
- What kind of work do you want to do and what is the ideal environment for you?
