Interview
I submitted my resume at a career fair at my university. There were only two phone screens, one with someone on another team that works closely with the hiring manager, and the other with the actual hiring manager. The first one went very well - had a great conversation. I was told the second one was going to be more technical, but it really wasn't. It was just the same kind of behavioral/experience questions.

Question 1
There weren't really any unexpected questions. Just going over my experience on my resume, and diving into some of the projects I've done, occasionally asking some easy related technical questions.

Interview
Submitted my resume at a college career fair. They asked some interesting questions at the fair, sort of like puzzles. A few days later I got an email asking to set up a phone interview. This was about half an hour long. He started out by asking a bunch of questions about my background and details about projects I have done, and what fields (within EE) I was interested in. He then, at the end, told me what the group did. My focus was more IC design, but at the end he told me it was a board design position, which did not make me seem like the best fit.

Question 1
Asked many detailed questions about board layout on one of my previous projects, including some transmission line and impedance matching concepts that I did not know about.

Interview
Received an email from HR (University Relations) a few days after applying. They stated that the Interactive Media Group wanted to interview me. After a few emails back and forth between two different people, we settled on an interview date. Both of these employees seemed extremely helpful and friendly. I interviewed over the phone with an employee who had extensive experience, publications, and presentations. Over the phone, he was rude at times, and was mostly interested in if I previously had experience with image processing (this wasn't listed as a requirement on the job description). The interviewer frequently cut me off after fifteen or thirty seconds of talking, and the interview ended after roughly fifteen minutes. Two days later, I got an email saying I didn't get the internship.
