Interviewers did a visit to our department and conducted onsite interviews the next day.

I had an on campus interview. They had several behavioral questions as well as some very technical questions. The interview was two employees. I would definitely recommend studying your notes before this one. It was a challenging interview, but one that definitely better prepared me for the future.
