I had a casual 45-minute one-on-one chat with the supervisor for the position. It was pretty laid-back, and I got the offer a couple of weeks after.

I applied on the J R Simplot Website and got an email for a Phone screening. The phone screening interview lasted 30 mins and was focused on Behavior Questions. Then I received an Invitation for an onsite Interview. HR facilitated travel and lodging. The onsite interview was a Panel interview for 60 mins with 1 HR, Hiring Manager and a Colleague. They started with a Formal Introduction and then asked 6 behavioral questions. All 3 interviewers were writing my response, just listening and asking a few counter questions. I felt they didn't really know what they were expecting from the questions. If I asked them to provide some clarity on the questions, they got confused. They offered a plant tour.

It was a panel interview with people from different departments. They didn't seem very engaged from the beginning. My sense was that they had already decided on another candidate and were just going through the steps. Maybe having some more junior people involved would be good; interviewing only senior folks doesn't really show the applicant what the overall culture is like.
