It was a real world scenario based interview. You had to debug and fix real users errors. This was just the initial stage tho so I can't say much about the other stages but was told there would be 4 stages in total.
I interviewed for the London internship position. They asked questions on the differences between programming languages, Java internals (garbage collectors), and networking. The questions were not difficult, but they expected you to know the theory.
