I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Toyota North America (Anaheim, CA) in Nov 2019
Interview
I attended the SWE Conference and got to their booth early to talk to the recruiters. They asked me about myself, extracurriculars related to my major, etc and put me down for an interview for the next day. I got a call a few days after for a co-op offer.
A virtual format for the initial interview— you needed to record yourself for each answer. You had two attempts for every question which really helped. After you are chosen for the next round, you fly out to Kentucky to be interviewed two more times and meet other interns.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Toyota North America (Cincinnati, OH) in Jan 2018
