I was interviewed by an alum - I am unsure of how Ross pairs up interviewers / interviewees, but I was luckily matched with somebody from my industry and location (leading to seamless conversation starters).
Invited to interview on 3/2 and completed the interview on 3/8.

The interviewer was very friendly and started off the interview by giving an overview of what to expect in the next 30 minutes. She informed me that she had reviewed my application in detail, and there would likely not be any time for questions at the end. The atmosphere was very relaxed and was more application than resume-based. Below are some questions she asked:
Overall, I felt like the interview went well and she was very engaged the entire time. It was very conversational and she let my feedback partially determine the next questions and direction we went in. I was surprised at how laid back the interview felt, and was expecting to get more questions about my specific job experience. The interview made it very clear to me that HBS is seeking well rounded candidates and cares deeply about who you are as a person (what motivates you, inspires you, etc.) beyond your professional accomplishments. Looking forward to Thursday, December 10th!
