Contacted for an initial phone screen- no surprising questions there. She was very nice, but the interview seemed to go very fast. I wasn't expecting to, but I received a follow up email a week later requesting to set up another interview session (4 separate 1/2 hour interviews with 1-2 people interviewing for each one). I didnt feel like the professionals I spoke with were very enthusiastic about their career even when I asked them questions about themselves/the company/etc.

The interview was with the quality manager and human resources. It was Turkish in the beginning. Then they asked me to continue in English. I don't think they were looking for an actual intern, they were looking for someone to work in the lab.
