It's just a sad place to be, but the interview should be fairly basic. They still ask questions straight from first page of crashing thinking they are screening great candidates

Depends on the team but expect it to be more design heavy since you are interviewing for principal level. If there are 5 rounds, expect 3:2 design:coding

The same shit as Amazon:-) Atleast go for one of the newer office orgs

Coding, system design, and behavioral around leadership and influence. Not too much different from other software engineering interviews but the bar would be high.
