Mostly basic technical questions, HR round was very generic. They don't expect high technical expertise from Interns. For me there were basic mechanical engineering questions, like on thermodynamics, strength of materials, fluid mechanics etc.

Interview
This was the initial phone screen with internal recruiter. Based on the interview experiences posted on Glassdoor, I was expecting behavioral questions. Did not get a single behavioral question. Instead, it was a deep dive into the experience listed on the resume. Being asked questions off of the resume is commonplace but the drill down was unusual. At the start, the recruiter stated she wanted to become an expert on me. I'm used to these initial phone screens lasting 10-15 minutes. This was 45 minutes. I was convinced she had an engineering degree. When she said she wasn't an engineer, I thought, wow, she really understands the organization she's representing/recruiting for.

Interview
I applied for the position and within a week of the posting coming down an interview was scheduled. Since I was an internal candidate for the position, I only had to have the face to face interview with the interview panel. This included the hiring manager, another product engineer, the HR manager, and the Quality Manager. They asked Lominger interview questions about 10 total before allowing me to ask them about some of the specifics to the position.
