      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      Fairly simple interview process of an OA and then a virtual technical interview. Started with the first part of the OA which was a set of three technical questions that I had to enter an answer for coding competition style. You are given a set of test cases to run against so you can fine tune your answers until you pass all test cases or run out of time. After that was a second OA section that was less technical and tried to more so to simulate a day in the life of a software engineer at Amazon. This section is more about testing you on Amazon leadership principles and are in general more beahvior focused questions, with some technical stuff like discovering a bug based on output logs mixed in. I passed those two and moved onto the formal technical interview, which was a 45min-1 hour session with an Amazon engineer. The first chunck of the interview was more behavioral, again questions focused on Amazon's leadership principles. I came prepared for questions and made sure I had answers tailored to fit specifically with their leadership principles. The second half was a technical interview where I was given what I believe was a LC easy question. The end of that interview concluded the interview process.

      Question 1

      Outside of usual technical prep via leetcode questions and similar, there is a lot of emphasis on Amazon's leadership principles. The leadership principles are extremely important, and almost everything you do during your interview process is looked at through the lense of their leadership principles.

      One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
