A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field and several years experience in software development is expected."

Mostly leadership principle questions or behavioral questions. You can google it to find out many. Most of the questions are negative to start with, such as you want to accomplish things, but failed; how to manage your team member with bad performance etc. Technical questions like how to handle calls between clients and REST API services with increased volumes. It's going deeper and deeper once you answered it. Can't say any more here.

All the questions started with 'tell me about a time when', then the whole series of questions more or less sounded trite and out of a book. The only technical question was a relational database question which you can study for online.
