I had interview with the nicest people and they care about your mentality and values. Since this internship is geared towards 1st and 2nd year students, they only expect you know the basic of computer science. They want to learn about your problem solving skills.

I definitely overthinking the process since it was with Microsoft. The interviewers were super helpful and kind. My interview was easy, I was asked very simple HashMap problem because I have not taken a DSA class before.

Only made it to the phone screening phase. I believe there is a technical interview and a behavioral interview after this. The recruiter was very nice and was super supportive because it was my first interview ever.

The interview went smoothly and was not too difficult overall. The questions asked were fairly straightforward and focused on fundamental Python concepts. For instance, I was asked to reverse a string, which involved using basic string manipulation techniques. Another question was about solving the "Two Sum" problem, where I had to find two numbers in a list that add up to a given target. These problems required a good understanding of Python's built-in functions and data structures, but were manageable with my current skill set. Overall, the interview experience was positive and tested my basic programming skills.
