In general lots of soft-skill questions: conflict resolution, peer or manager relationship history, work habits. Big emphasis on past experience with deliverables and individual responsibility. Out of my 2 on-site interviews ASML/Cymer struck me as having the best culture, but had weaker technical expertise of the interviewers (however, this is not the case in the actual workplace, peers are extremely technically proficient).
