Question 1
Quali sono stati tuoi motivi di scontro o difficoltà in lavori precedenti?
Quick - interned with 3 different branches and they all asked very similar questions (3 questions, followed up by any questions on your end). Only one online interview required, but others may ask for a written test too. Easy to pass as long as you prepare why you are interested in this role, what skills you bring, and talk briefly about your future career goals / why this internship would be beneficial to you.

Quite intense. I had theory and oral interview. The theory part had limited time and it requires prior preparations. It came with a set of situational questions and I was required to come up with a PowerPoint presentation and excel sheet.
