HR call via WeChat, 1 round of design lead interview for portfolios, 1 round of department design lead interview for portfolios and general questions, 1 round of HR interview where I was asked behavioral questions

There were two rounds in the interview process. The first was a thoughtful conversation with a senior designer, which felt engaging and well-aligned with the expectations for a fall internship role. The second round was with a design manager. While it was structured and professional, the conversation felt somewhat scripted and less conversational—almost as if a decision had already been made prior to the call. Overall, the process was fairly straightforward, though the second round lacked the level of engagement I typically look for in a two-way discussion.
