Mine was a solid hour. I'm also a loud and fast talker so I had to try and pull that back as everyone is in the same room. My interviewers spent most of the time looking down writing on the sheets. The only time they really looked up was to ask the question.
Wow ... my experience was very different. My interviewers kept process very conversational with a lot of eye contact and interaction with me as opposed to just asking a question and then listening and taking notes while I spoke. Also, I was in a small conference room where it was only the interviewers and myself.
