Mostly behavioural related questions and some technical as well. Since the people that interviewed me had no clue about the technical part it was a joke. The real interview is when they're trying to 'sell' you as a company asset to the customer (in my case an important car OEM), as long as they can allocate you in a project it should be a piece of cake.
