Written test followed by technical discussion. Interviewer was taking interview like they are the best coders in the universe and want exact perfect answer for every question. And if you'll answer the question quickly they'll say you might have seen this question on internet. What a silly people they have who are just wasting precious time of candidates.

BEWARE - They will ask for your current salary slips and they will not give you more than 40% hike under any circumstance (even if you make 30% of their median salary in SDE2). I found that to be very unprofessional. I think in these kind of tech roles, salary should not depend on what you currently make but it should depend on the value of work and overall company slab for the offered role. Very Very unprofessional behaviour while negotiating.
