1. Covering algorithms (coding question - approximately Medium Difficulty on LeetCode). 2. Technical leadership typical questions on team, delivery etc 3. Culture fit - how you align to the culture of the org. Have a look at the website for their core values and how you fit. 4. People Leadership and fit with hiring manager. Drawing on examples of typical challenging issues when managing teams. Pretty standard and no real surprises here.
