I had an on campus interview that was about 45 minutes long and went by pretty quickly. The interviewer was pretty average, not super friendly. They had a sheet of paper and took notes on my answers. After that, they emailed back and said they wanted to do a behavioral phone interview. If that went well, they would fly me out for a few days of interviews on site.
