Process
It was quite pleasant. First a quick chitchatting with the HR, then a 2-hour technical interview. Maybe I'm too smart, but I felt the technical interview a bit easy. The whole process took a bit more than one month.
Questions
Questions were mostly C language problems, things that don't cause you hard times if you regularly attended programming contests. E.g. Concurrency, if two threads doing ++x at the same time, what can x be after?

Good technical work environment, bright & good people, salary under-average

Pros: There is a great atmosphere working here, as most chaps are highly technical and fun to play with. There are very easy going and friendly relationships between colleagues, exciting technologies, and on-going learning opportunities, as well as a free gym.
Cons: This must be the salary: it is under-average for the work carried out - a starting salary for a graduate being only 18k for such a renowned firm? Also food in the canteen can really be improved..
