I did a preliminary phone interview with an HR rep and then was scheduled for an in person interview. The day of my interview I met with the HR rep that I had talked on the phone with, then was sent to interview with the hiring manager. Had a standard interview experience, questions are what you would expect them to be and everyone I spoke to was very nice.
