Interview
I applied through the campus recruiting. The interviewers were really nice. I've met around 5 or 6 people including the hiring manager. They were down to earth and very supportive even when I was blocked by some hard questions. They were trying to help when I have questions. I got the offer 1 week after the onsite. The total process took about 6 weeks.

Interview
PPO Interview of 2 rounds, 1 technical, and the latter as AA(As Appropriate). Hard technical round, easy AA. Internship manager's comments were helpful. Technical interview was highly unrelated to the project, and also tough. One got the feeling that it was deliberately unrelated to the project. AA round was much more easier, and taking initiatives in drawing out project decks gets more points.
