Can't give full detail (NDA) but expect lots of "tell me about a time you ... ", based on the Amazon leadership principles. For system design, expect to be asked about any one of many current highly available, highly scalable platforms, and how to implement key features of those.
Basically a personality interview. Questions were not technical in any nature. All about my character, experience, and my overall employment history.
Job experience questions mostly. Know what you have done, be specific. For coding - know the basics and practice the most common questions out there. No brain teasers.
Questions were based on solving the problems the team faces; but abstracted a bit to make it more generic. Some questions on writing a simple program and also data structures.
Describe the infrastructure Twitter uses for scale. What is the design you are most proud of? What metrics would you use to determine if the service was "good enough"? Describe front-end, back-end, and user metrics.
What is the last time you asked your manager permission to do something?
Asked to write code online. Posed scenarios where teams are difficult to deal with and how to manage around it.
System Design and Behavioral related questions including design choices
Lot of behavioral questions. How did you handle a particular situation etc. based on the leadership principles. Make sure to give examples from your own experience, as they go into very specific details of each example (including timelines).
