I received an email stating that telephone interviews would be conducted on three days and asking me to select a time to interview. The interviewers were reading off a script and did not allow for much off of the script until the end when I was allowed to ask questions. I was then called about two weeks after the interview with the job offer and started around two weeks after that.

Panel interview over the phone. Scripted questions mostly about work environment, such as handling high production quotas and dealing with coworkers. No legal questions; very straight forward.
