Question 1
Why do you like commercial banking (the industry), and why SouthState?
Very behavioral based and laid back. Focused on personality more than technical ability which was reasonable given the position is for an internship. Overall a great experience not difficult or intimidating.
It was professional but if you keep it to a casual conversation it is much more comfortable. No technical questions were asked, just personal questions and behavioral questions. Dress professional and make sure to look up who the interviewers are before it.
