I sent my application through my school's career center.
1. One on One on-site interview at my school. This interview was entirely behavioral based . Basically, they just want to know what you're interested in.
2. I was contacted by a specific manager in the field that I indicated I was interested in. One on One phone interview that was mainly behavioral and we discussed my past experiences.
3. One on one technical interview with a member of the team I would be working with. This was a technical interview, but was only really about the general concepts of Java and OO. No algorithm problems.
Overall a pretty easy interview process. I do not like the location they are in though.
Filled out online application and took online assessment. Recruiter reached out and scheduled interview with team manager at specific location the next week. Simple behavioral interview, brief technical questions on resume walkthrough. Offered 1 week after interview.

Interview
Very comfortable. It was a conversation rather than a interview
The Interviewer asked me questions, listened and added thoughts to what I was saying, making it feel very relaxed and easy. The questions were mainly about previous Projects done and about the technologies used in those projects.
The interviewer gave a brief introduction of the project in which I was supposed to work in the term of 6 months during the internship.
