First a phone call to set up a technical phone interview, then a technical phone interview, which was actually very brief and mostly involved me talking about my background with previous data projects. Finally was the on-site visit day which consists of 4 1:1 interviews with almost all (except for one) with software engineers, which was novel for me in interviewing for DS roles. They were very nice and, though the on-site visit was a bit disorganized, I could tell they wanted to and tried to make it work though ultimately I wasn't compatible with the role. I got the sense this role at LiveRamp leaned towards the software programming aspect of DS, and not as much the data analysis aspect.

I was contacted by HR and had a phone screen covering basic information: what do you know about LiveRamp?, are there any questions you have?, etc. Later HR set up a phone interview with a more technical person on the team, and told me the interview would cover algorithms and logic. I think the thing I would take away from my phone interview experience is that they are looking for more of a data engineer than a statistician. I was not asked anything related to stats, probability, or even general math. I was not asked about algorithms for fitting models. I was asked more of a data structure type question.
