I applied through university. I interviewed at UC Riverside (Riverside, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Basic SQL questions, 1 round interview, Behavioral and technical questions, 30 mins to an hour long interview. Pretty straight forward. Heard back about a month later. Accepted the offer for the UCR ITS dept as a student intern.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself? What project are you most proud of?
Video call with other student's, group setting, asking questions about what will you gain from the opportunity, what is your favorite physical activity, etc. The interviewers were current student faculty and their manager, friendly and nice, overall a smooth process.
