First phase: manager interview. Few simple technical questions or code review.
Second phase: technical interview. Starts with a presentation about a project. Then 2 problems (usually one is more of a simple algorithmic problem to show proficiency in problem solving and the chosen language, while the other is more advanced and requires more knowledge of data structures and doing some design work)
Finally some networking
