General questions regarding your career up to now, along with some (general again) IT questions. Perhaps, they are competent enough to infer your knowledge without being too specific. In any case be prepared to go through your whole CV.

Average questions mostly on SQL, 1 question on data structure. In depth explanation of your current and recent projects. Another interview was based on architecture solutions for certain scenarios.

Technical questions regarding the different technology
The Python technical challenge was about ingesting some data in a specific way and do some analytics on the results. The questions were about the reasons behind each decision. Also, they asked for alternatives to the simple provided solution (it was a challenge done in 3h) more oriented to a production-ready environment.
