Due to an NDA, I cannot disclose the actual questions. The behavioral interview was pretty straightforward, where they generally wanted to evaluate how well I could work in a team. The technical questions were leetcode medium-hard type questions on strings, graphs, tries, and hashmaps.

Signed NDA. You should practice LeetCode medium questions and talk out loud while you practice them. You should really know your binary trees and graphs. Also do not skimp on the behavioral Googlyness interview: they need to know that you are good at working on a team and communicating with others. During the coding rounds, make sure to always ask clarifying questions before coding and explain your initial approach in detail. And always talk while coding!
