I had a TPM interview with Lyft earlier this year. It wasn't technical at all but they asked me to present something super technical from my previous projects to a technical and non technical audience.

Thanks SC1 for the input

If you make it to the loop, you may have one technical interview and also may have to give a presentation on the topic of your choosing. The technical questions will be related to the role and/or your experience on a project. If you do get a technical question, be prepared to go deep. It's best to give as little information as possible upfront because you will get 4-5 follow-up questions to go deeper into the topic. Most interviews will be super soft and behavioral (STAR format). I'd be more worried about coming up with a diverse set of anecdotes and how they relate to the leadership principles. A lot of people struggle here but there's a lot of prep out there on it.
