During my own interview process, I underwent two rounds. The first was a phone screening designed to evaluate my communication skills and background. However, despite the position being advertised as a graduate intern, with literally not much in the job description, I was unexpectedly thrust into a data science interview. The second round involved a 45-minute interview with the team manager, director, and other officials, although only the manager ended up participating. The director joined 15 minutes late into the interview but left abruptly after just 10 minutes, almost as though he didn't want to waste his time on someone he didn't think was capable of the role. I wonder how people turn things around when they were in the same seat once. While the manager was friendly and asked relevant questions, I found the director's behavior intimidating. The interview only lasted 30 minutes instead of the scheduled 45 minutes. Although I felt that I performed well and provided thoughtful responses, it's unrealistic to expect interns to have the same level of skills, knowledge, and experience as full-time employees, yet receive minimal compensation. Internships should be an opportunity for learning and mentorship. Unfortunately, the company sent me a rejection notice within two hours of the interview and didn't respond to my follow-up attempts for weeks to receive feedback.
