2nd round was with 2 engineers, this was a problem-solving round. Given a piece of code, how to improve it (multi-thread again). Only need to write sudo code.
3nd round was with 2 engineers again, a system design round. Not a typical system design problem, more like a real problem in the work.
There was a conversation with HR, and then I was scheduled for an interview with a team leader about my technology stack. According to the stack, he asked me deeper questions to check my understanding. The next interview consisted of a technical question, posed as a LeetCode problem, and a coding question.
