Met with 2 Engineers (the head of the department and lead engineer). Interview went for about 30 mins. It was more of a casual conversation rather then the barrage of all the behavioural questions that prospective graduates usually get in interviews. Went through resume and academic transcript and asked various questions, very easy going not stressful at all.
