Rather hard OA, but easy interview in terms of leetcode - had to implement a queue and discuss time/space complexity and optimality. Interviewer was satisfied with a brief sketch with pseudocode rather than a proper implementation
Otherwise, discussed previous internship and technical aspects of it - in particular, talked about writing a scraper and went through design choices (think generic system design interview Qs)
General CS chat too, like explaining merge sort, discussing high/low level languages and whatnot. If you have worked with software, thought about CS, and are eager then this aspect is straightforward.
Some behavioral Qs. Standard
