I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optum (Eden Prairie, MN) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interviewing experience for their internship, consisted of a video-recorded interview and a virtual zoom interview. Mostly behavioral questions with a few questions about past technical work on your resume. The interview was with a real engineer at the company, not an HR person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is there a situation in that you were not given enough information to complete a project? If so explain what you did to overcome it.
Aptitude test was round 1. After that around 50 students were selected for interviews. They had an HR round first, and then technical round. HR round was just a formality and sort of a hygiene check. Technical round was relatively easy and comfortable

Question 1
Asked me to explain pseudocode for following question:
You have a string that is made of 'AM' substring. It can only be expended in 2 ways: 'AMAM', 'AAMM'. Now the 4 letter string can be expanded in 5 ways by inserting 'AM' anywhere in the string. If given a long string, how to check if it is valid and following the above rules
There was a phone screening and then a remote interview. Remote interview just asked for the basics, fundamentals of computer science, and any related experiences. It was a long friendly conversation.
