Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
nice people, very friendly and approachable.
question range is quite large
a lot of things need to cover
generally, just be natural, keep calm and talk a lot, sometimes they will give hints or something to help out if you seems to get stuck.
just general ideas also help i guess

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took a day)
I applied on the website. After that I received an email from the manager talking about the interest of the company in me and we make an appointment for a phone interview. Finally, I was interviewed by three different people, asking about my CV, my technical knowledge, interests, etc. In the last interview they made a hiring proposal. The people looked so professional and kind. I think that my CV was interesting for them because it was a really fast process.
