Normal interview with a few technical questions. Nothing out the ordinary, if you've done these before you will be fine. Some of them were quite hard and I couldn't answer all of them.

Interview
This was part of hiring event. Recruiter reached out on Linkedin. Recruiter asked technical questions as part of phone screen. Onsite interview was straight 4 rounds and it was very hectic.
