I've been fortunate enough to have much shorter job interviews.

For one of my jobs, the interview is basically an application, and a 5 minute question and answer thing.

For the research position I applied for, the work was more extensive. I was asked to submit a preliminary background paper and research plan, and although we had already discussed this position, the discussion process was formal to prepare me for future interview processes. I enjoyed it though.
