It started with an on-campus interview, mostly behavioral questions - what will you do in conflict, what is your 5-yr goal, and one tech-related question: describe a project that you are currently working on.
Then they arranged me for an on-site interview, and paid for everything. It was a half-day interview, started with a company introduction and tours, then I was interviewed by 4 persons, 2 engineers, 1 senior engineer, and 1 manager.
