It depends on the job you are interviewing for. If you are applying for software engineering there will most likely be algorithm questions (trees, lists, graphs, array manipulation etc.), along with systems/api design. For PM, it will be heavy on product/feature design (questions like how would you make bing better, are common). Brain teasers and they like used to be more popular, but are fairly rare now.
