I applied online. I interviewed at Intuitive (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Apply on Glassdoor and get a phone call to set up the interview . Next week I had the interview with the manager. After 2 weeks they called back and offered.
Initial 30 min phone screening followed by 3 back-to-back interviews with hiring managers. Questions were purely behavioral (no case interview). The hiring managers I spoke with were based on an initial preference ranking between different summer intern projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to make an unpopular decision.
Spoke with a recruiter which lasted for an hour as she was grilling me. Then a hiring manager video call. After that I moved on to the onsite interviews where I interviewed with 6 people separately. Overall, I felt that they are looking for someone who fits their mold of perfection. What a waste of my time this was.

Question 1
Questions related to my experience. One interviewer even asked where I was from originally and also preceded to ask about how I would describe my personality.
