I had an onsite interview. The coding questions included LeetCode 339 and a variation of LeetCode 199. The AI coding question was a maze problem, which I had seen before on this forum. For the system design round, I was asked to design a system that fetches news from different companies from an RSS feed, and allows users to retrieve the top X news items for a specified company.
