I applied in-person. I interviewed at The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) in Jul 2016
Interview
Whole day interview starting from 7:30am to 8pm. It was a combination of formal presentation, meeting PIs, lab members and HR for benefits. Breakfast with the PI, Lunch with other postdocs and students. The environment was very casual and it was not a super formal interview.

About 3 days later, I was offered the position.
