Mix of tech questions and experience-focused questions. The tech questions were based on problems presented by other engineers at the company. The interviewers were kind and encouraging even though I don't think I did well on the coding parts. Seems like a good company and although I'm disappointed I didn't get an offer I think they are worth interviewing with if you are looking for a dev position.
