3 rounds. 1 system design. Others were DSA. DSA rounds contained 2 questions each. 3 of them were back to back. Quite hectic as the middle guy was late so that pushed the meeting further

Interview
Pretty straightforward. After the OA got invite for the 3 rounds of loop interview. And they give the decision within a week after the interviews.

Question 1
They asked 3 behavioral questions and 3 leetcode questions (1 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard)
Walking into the technical round, I recognized the prompt instantly—it was the same stock price problem I had worked through on PracHub while prepping. The interviewer had me discuss both the brute force approach and the optimized single-pass solution.

Overall, I found the process straightforward, and I received an offer, but ultimately opted to decline for another opportunity.
