Aside from the usual types of interview questions what stood out was being given a programming problem 48 hours before the in-person interview. The instruction were clear that a range of solutions were possible and functioning code was not mandatory.

In technical rounds, questions were mostly to judge java coding skills, problem solving skills, design skills, any important functionality you delivered in your current project, etc. eg. Two threads, one printing odd numbers, another printing even numbers. Run them in such a way, output comes as 1,2,3,4,... in order.
