All questions were technical. I had three coding questions and several test questions probing what I had done.

I was asked to come up with test cases for my code.
In addition, I was asked to come up with a strategy and test cases for an internet voice calling software product and a toy for a toddler.
Overall, the interview experience was very positive and interesting.
