What is the complex problem you solved and how you went about it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2021
Interview
Straight forward LC questions. Design questions at the final round. The process was straightforward. Any CS graduate with a decent DS and Algorithms background should be able to do it. Should study for the behavioral part, that part is more difficult than the coding part imo.
