Interview
I got a phone interview first which lasted an hour. Then one site interview. There were five technical and one human resource interviews. it took a day. From 9 am to 4 pm. People are friendly and nice.
I applied in the university career fair, and got the phone interview several weeks later. There were two rounds to recruit applicants. During the interview the recruiter talked about some general works to be done during the internship, and asked several technical questions to check my qualifications. Because I did not behave that well, I was rejected a week after my interview.
