Question 1
Some hypothetical questions like what would you do if the developers refused to make the changes to remediate a high priority vulnerability?
Easy and comforting. The interview mainly focused on the intern jobs and preivous experiences. No need to panic. The interviewees were very nice and would actually guide you through the questions.
