Two technical interviews one after another, with two different interviewers. First interviewer was friendly and engaged in the conversation, helping me out with little hints or directions when I needed them. Second interviewer was difficult to talk to as he started talking to me in my native language which was not the idea of the interview - afterwards he became rather uninterested, not helping me out at all. Very mixed experience which depends on the interviewer to a huge degree.
