Colloquio
Applied online. Received a questionnaire asking about my background and interests.
The second step was a technical phone screen with an engineer from the team that was hiring. It was a quite simple problem that asked to implement a more specialized data structure using basic data structures.
The third and final step was a remote onsite about 3 hours. There were 2 engineers interviewing. The task was to implement a specialized database. The first hour was spent on discussing the design and how I would approach the problem. Then 2 hours was spent on me screen sharing and coding the solution out. I was also allowed to use everything online etc.
Overall okayish experience. But there was no feedback on what I did good and what I should have improved. Also, no time for questions and interviews focused only on technical skills. I wonder what does it tell about the culture?

Colloquio
It was a very smooth experience, the interviewer touched on various types of technical skills that an intern should be aware of. The interviewer also focused on how the candidate analyse and design a software.
Great interviewer, very easy questions about the basics of Computer Science.
4 steps of interview:
- coding
- technical interview
- behavioural interview - the most common questions
- conversations withe Hiring Manager
Resume screening, 1 behavioral round and 1 technical round. Behavioral a bit weird for internship given that candidates probably don't have much experiences. Technical 1 medium-ish question. Took quite long to get notified by recruiter of result
