1 coding, 1 front-end project, 2 db questions (easy, one was about self-join), 5 multiple choice (very easy). The front-end project was about extending a "mark as done" functionality to a to-do app, which is written in plain JS in MVC. Watch out for the poor online text editor.

My advice is everyone else's advice: 1. Read Cracking the Coding Interview and books like that. 2. Brush up on HackerRank, CodingWars, LeetCode, and sites like that. 3. Don't forget to work on design problems. 4. Practice in front of friends. The questions were hard, but the environment was low-pressure, so don't feel like you have to super-over-prepare, either. I don't remember the exact questions because it's been a while, but the coding one was about searching for a particular node in a tree or traversing a tree or something, and I had to state the runtime at the end. The design question was to sketch out the architecture for an app for a small business. You needed a way to manage reservations/rentals, store and update customer accounts, bill the correct amounts, and send various email notifications.

Front-end: Fundamental questions about JavaScript. They don't care whether you know Angular, React, or Vue.js. As a smart company, they realized that a good developer can easily switch between libraries/frameworks if given the room to do so. I was challenged with a really fun set of questions that lead to one another within JavaScript. The interviewer was genuinely interested to see how I think, and didn't care much about how precise my code is. Practice on your deep JavaScript understanding and you should be alright. Make sure to be aware of all the quirks of JavaScript.
