I was called 2 weeks after I applied for a quick chat to confirm that I was good to go for an interview the following week. The interview was virtual and was a half hour long with a branch manager and an HR employee.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at NBT Bancorp
Interview
Phone interview, followed up by another brief call detailing specifics of the position and compensation amount. Mostly behavioral questions as this position was an entry level role. Wasn't over 20 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at NBT Bancorp (Albany, NY) in May 2014
Interview
I talked on the phone a few times from someone in HR. He called me one morning and we set up a "meeting" that same day. I met with an assistant branch manager that afternoon. The interview was about 15 minutes long. I read up on the company beforehand and dressed nice, so it wasn't a particularly hard interview. It generally seemed like he was just getting to know me and getting a basic profile of me. I was hired a few days or a week later.
