My interview went smoothly, had clear timeline of interview schedule, had regular updates from university recruiter. The first kickoff meeting was in the morning, I saw about 25 other interviewees in the virtual interview call. I then had a 45 minute portfolio presentation with 3 designers from the company. Later in the day, I had 3 45 minute 1-on-1s with each designer I presented to.
