I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Patpatia & Associates (Berkeley, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
The interviewer was really nice and just wanted to know about my previous work experiences. I had consulting experience listed on my resume, so a lot of questions were about my past consulting experiences. They really emphasized how much work I would be doing if I got the job, including a lot of research without a lot of help. The office was beautiful. After a 20 minute or so interview, I met a senior associate. I didn't really get good vibes from the senior associate who wanted me to know that I would have to prioritize this internship over all of my schoolwork. His off-putting attitude is what turned me away from the firm.

I applied online. I interviewed at Patpatia & Associates (Berkeley, CA) in Sept 2019
Interview
After applying through Handshake, I received an email for an in-person interview invitation. There was only one round of interview with the manager. The interview is partly informational. The manager will explain about the role and project. After the information part, questions will be asked. All questions are behavioral.
