Other countries copy FAANG but if we did full leetcode here (Malaysia), we'd end up hiring nobody.
I like the way Singaporeans do it – it's still an algorithmic problem, but usually related to the job. Like a logistics company would give a spreadsheet and ask how to fit the most packages inside the van, with bonus points if you put categorized packages next to each other. Or some variation of traveling salesman. Optimization skill matters no matter where you work, but mostly in the sense that you're not applying O(2^n) unnecessarily.
Multiple interviews are really based on funnel size, and funnel size is based around expectations and whether the company can afford full-time recruiters. If you're paying say, $1500/month for a junior here like Accenture does, the funnel will be full and you can drag people through multiple rounds. Many will just prefer to pay $800 and grab the first applicant that passes.
