Interview
Applied online and received an e-mail from the recruiter to set up the interview appointment. First part (~25min) was behavioral and personal questions asked by the team leader; followed up by technical questions from an engineer. Both were female and amicable. However, contrary to my confidence in the interview and the conversations, they were non-responsive for the next 3 weeks to tell me I wasn't accepted.

Interview
Got invited to SWE Internship Power day. It had 2 back to back interviews. Questions were on random things. They asked Leetcode easy/medium questions and also Linked list questions. I used C++ for this.
2 rounds back to back First round by a manager, second round by an engineer. A little weird since the manager interviewer asked me a few question not strongly related to software engineering.
