Ca. 40 mins talk with 2 recruiters - typical interview questions based on my CV, a bit about myself, a bit about my education, etc. Very pleasant and easy-going people, flexible when it comes to the form of the interview (face to face/skype). I had to wait quite long for their decision (a few weeks), while a friend of mine received an e-mail after one or two weeks.
