Round 1 Low-Level Design and Coding** The interview began with a brief discussion of past work, followed by a design challenge to build a key-value store. The store needed to support the following operations: * set(key, value) * get(key) * delete(key) * undo() * redo() The evaluation prioritized the completeness of the code and the handling of edge cases. A critical success factor was clarifying assumptions upfront rather than making implicit guesses.

Round 2 System Design** After reviewing previous projects, the session focused on designing a multi-tenant chat application. This round resulted in a rejection, though specific feedback on the design flaws was not provided.
