There was a home test with a moderate leetcode question and a more complicated one that i had a total of 90 minutes to complete. After that, I had 2 back-to-back interviews with my potential Team Lead and a colleague of theirs. The colleague asked me another leetcode question with a recursive element to it and the Team Lead asked a design question that deepened as we kept talking and encountering problems.
