Data Structures & Algorithms60 min
Purely DSA focused. I was given two questions: The first was quite challenging: Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum The second was a medium-hard problem: Increasing Triplet Subsequence I managed to solve the hard problem without help and needed a few hints for the second. After this round, only 10 out of the initial 30 made it through to the next stage.

System Design & Concepts60 min
This was a system design round that started with rapid-fire conceptual questions, things like query optimization strategies, cache design, indexing, and best practices for API design. Afterwards, I was asked to put that knowledge into practice by designing a system on the spot. I talked through my ideas, tried to structure my thoughts clearly.
