Standard Behavioral Questions, ending with resume questions. Went in depth on core coursework. Really liked to pick your brain apart. Had two interviewers in the room at the same time.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you felt challenged by one of your team members in a group project.
I first got a phone call to set up a phone interview. The initial phone interview took approximately one hour. Then, about a month 1/2 later...they followed up to schedule a panel interview and then another phone interview. My phone interview was supposed to take place one morning at 10 am. I never got a call. I didn't receive an e-mail or anything until late that afternoon. Then, the rescheduled. Then, we scheduled a panel interview with three people. This whole process took almost 4 months and they have still not filled the position. Everyone was very polite. It is just a very slow process, or at least for this position it was.

Interview
Applied on the campus career center. Got an interview call 2 days later. Just one round of on campus interview. Both technical + HR. One person would be taking notes while the other was asking questions. Nothing too technical nor too HR. They mixed a bit of both. Mostly questions from your resume. About your projects, experiences etc.
