I applied for three internships and was contacted by a recruiter for one to arrange a screening. After setting that up I immediately received rejection emails for my other two positions as if they felt that I could only interview for one position at a time. After my strong interview and positive feedback from the recruiter I felt hopeful that I would move forward in the hiring process. Instead I got a rejection email two days afterwards stating they would be going with another candidate. I did not even get to meet with a team or manager! How was I evaluated fairly? To make the experience even worse they left the internship job posting up on the career page. So there was no “other candidate” just uppity people who would not even speak to me before discarding my application entirely.
It was an on-demand interview with 4 questions. the second one was 45 ,minutes and had 6-7 questions. I was interviewed by a panel and they were guiding me through the interview process.

Interview
Had one teams meeting with 2 department heads for each respective role they were hiring for. Easy, relaxed interview, got asked some basic technical questions specifically pertaining to Java. Then came the theoretical questions which they used to assess skill level within the role which were very left field and kind of left me stumped.
