I applied for the job online through their careers website and was contacted in December for a 30 minute phone interview. The director of the department interviewed me and asked a lot of technical questions related to the department I was interviewing for. I received an email from the HR department of Virgin Galactic and within a week had scheduled my phone interview. The phone interview was very prompt and started exactly on time. The difficult part of phone interviews is you can't see the person's facial expressions so it is difficult to judge your progress based solely on their tone.

The interview consisted of a phone call to determine skills and qualifications in relation to the job posting. They'll ask you about your past work experience, how many years you were there, what prompted you to leave or why you're exploring other opportunities. They appear to be somewhat rigid in what they want from their candidates, so if you have the skills but are lacking in some departments, they'll typically pass you up.
