Interview
The interviewer was friendly. He asked me two questions, the first of which I answered correctly and the second of which I nearly finished until he called time at about the 50 minute mark. I thought I did pretty well, and I was confident I would get a 2nd interview. After emailing to ask about my decision 6 days after the interview, I was sent a standard rejection letter about 5 minutes afterwards.
I emailed the person I interviewed with twice and he hasn't responded. I can only assume through my experience that this level of negligence holds for the company as a whole. The woman who initially contacted me for an interview was just as uncaring.
Apply elsewhere if you don't want to waste your time.

Interview
First round,two coding questions.
Very easy ones, the first is strstr(). Yeah, they love strstr(). And the second is find most popular numbers in an array. The interviewer is very friendly. There was bug in my code, but still get second round.

Interview
Two phone interviews with PMs. Really nice people. Each call lasted 30 mins.
First one was about logic maths / quantitative stuff. There is no real good/bad answers I guess, PMs just want to see how you react/think about unexpected questions.
Second one was about PG' games and a maths problem about cars, which was pretty easy, but as a non-english native speaker without knowledge of imperial system, I took too much time to resolve it.
I was not called for an on-site interview afterwards, but it was a great training. Not raging, but it's too bad PMs don't care/ask about previous experiences, it just let you feel you need to suit their needs and in the end, it could be you, or basically anybody else.
