Question 1
The design challenge was redesigning a website. Spent a lot of time on it. Honestly, I don't know why companies do this and would've preferred a whiteboarding challenge instead.

Interview
Pretty typical interview. Phone screen (do research on company), 3 technicals (leetcode, any language), did not make it further. The questions were not too hard, probably leetcode easy or medium.
