Interview
Initially applying online, I was surprised to see how quick of a response I got. Within a week of applying I had a phone interview. The phone interview was a lot more technical than expected. (I imagine this was because the summer internship was posted the first week of summer so they wanted to get things started). The second interview was in person. This interview was very similar to the phone interview but a lot simpler. Met with both the phone interviewer and the hiring manager.

Interview
One phone interview and one in person interview. There were 4 people present from different backgrounds that asked questions. Somewhat informal so no need to wear a full suit. Each interviewer asked questions pertaining to their aspect of the project. Small business that works on interesting projects.
