I received an email proposing me a phone screening interview. This one was technical. After completing it, I did a behavioral interview. I don't think I did well in this second interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain me using the STAR model how did you handle a situation where you were having problems with a colleague.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Nov 2016
Interview
I got the mail from HR saying there is drive in Bangalore. My details are already in the amazon database. I believe that's how they picked me. Who says no? So, I said yes to the interview.
First Round it was normal phone interview. I cleared it. Current job details, whats my area of interest, basic algorithm questions, sorting (like swap with next greatest number only once).
Second round, I went to Amzaon office in Marathali, Bangalore. Developer came & gave two questions. He wrote on the board. And asked to solve the problem covering all cases (boundary conditions).

Question 1
Interview happened five months ago actually. So, I can remember the questions but can't spell like they did it. Its normal algorithm question but they changed little things.
One question was about city with tall buildings with varying height and if its gets flooded, calculate total water storage due to buildings height.
Another one was in tree. Print all the leaf tree values alone.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Cupertino, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The recruiter reached me out over LinkedIn. I had a technical phone screen followed by on site. The technical phone screen question was quite challenging. Something to do with text justification.
The onsite interview consisted of 3 behavioral rounds which was quite strange, since, I was interviewing for a technical role. One of the rounds included people from sales department. The two technical rounds were easy as they consisted mostly of questions from leetcode, along with few java and design questions.
