Phone screen with HR, which was very standard "why are you interested?" and behavioral-based questions. About 2 weeks later I went into the office and met with the Director of HR, my eventual manager, and the executive who I would be reporting to. Overall nothing too bad, very uptight but straightforward interview. Mainly asked about my prior experience, why I was interested in them, and standard behavioral-based interview questions. They also asked me to do a skills assessment, where I drafted a sample email, did purchasing research and tried to complete a sample scheduling task (which was actually a trick question and unable to be solved.) The following day I had a call with HR who made a verbal offer and all follow-up was via email. The entire process took about a month and HR was very communicative via email.

I was contacted by email and offered several times to schedule a phone interview. A coordinator (who openly admitted this was her first experience with recruitment) called me. Her questions were very scripted and she seemed somewhat uncomfortable. She spent the first five minutes describing the job to me, and then twenty minutes asking me to go over my various positions in detail, with an emphasis on why I left each position. At the end of the conversation, she asked me what I currently make and what my salary expectations were. Frankly, I think this is what took me out of the running. I don't understand why the company just doesn't post the salary range with the job posting so that people can self select about whether or not it's a good match rather than wasting my time. It was annoying to have someone who I would potentially be supervising be conducting the screening interviews.
