I applied online, got a phone call from HR which was an informal phone interview. Then an in-person interview was scheduled. The interview with HR was a typical HR style interview. Formal questions, not conversational at all with minimal response when I gave answers. I had a better experience with the hiring manager, which felt like a two-way proper conversation.
