- “I was able to interview with many different people across the company and didn't have too many rounds of interviews that took all day.”
- “The questions are not the hardest ever, and the people doing the interviews create a welcoming environment that keeps you comfortable.”
- “One of the main reasons I accepted this internship was because I could feel the company culture throughout the interview. I felt like the people interviewing me wanted to learn about me as a person in addition to my qualifications. I did not feel like the interviews challenged me. They really just wanted me to talk about my past experiences. I also did not feel like their standards were very selective.”
