The technical part was not hard, especially if you took time to prepare for the system design questions. It seemed I was expected to give a pretty comprehensive and correct answer right away, but not re-iterate on things. For instance I was corrected on a simple SQL query right after I finished writing it and at the same time walking the interviewer over it. These corrections were obvious to me, but I didn't even get to the final answer yet. So, maybe from the interviewer perspective I wasn't fast enough. As for the 2d part, it was a blast of questions with basically 5 mins per answer or so. I didn't really have a good understanding on what to expect and didn't prepare good answers, so it was hard to give concise but comprehensive replies.

A hypothetical question about leadership. Your company needs to layoff your entire team due to unavoidable circumstances. How will you communicate this and handle the situation.
History of your management experience.
I can't go over the specific questions, but the technical interviews change based on the position. For the domain knowledge portion, be prepared to talk about a system you have built, what trade-offs you considered, and what you learned from that experience working with other engineers. The leadership, product, and delivery interviews are fairly standard. All interviewers left plenty of time for questions, and everyone was very respectful and open to sharing relevant information about the culture and tech. Overall, the interviews were rigorous, but felt like I was meeting my future co-workers.
