Technical
I was told the first round would be a casual chat with the department head about my background and if I'd be a good fit for the company. But on the day, without any heads-up, it was a technical interview with three people. I wasn't ready for it. The interviewers were nice, but being surprised like that (I hope it wasn't intentional, that would be a bit sneaky) left a bad feeling. Make sure you get the interview format confirmed in writing beforehand.
