Cant discuss to many details, but the first onsite interview was a pretty typical algorithm based question with whiteboarding coding. It involved discussing time complexities as well as estimations around space and CPU cycles. The second question was more hands-on with actual coding using a provided laptop alongside two different engineers. You get heaps of info about what to expect before heading onsite.
