Interview
Just one round of onsite interview. I was interviewed directly by the team leader who I worked with later in the internship. Went through my CV and asked details of the projects I involved. Asked about details of the algorithms I applied in the projects, which was the focus of the interview. Asked my plan after graduation to see whether I was seeking for return offer during the internship. The team leader was very nice and friendly. Easy interview.
