I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was standard OA1, OA2, and final video call. Interviewers were cordial. Didn't make much conversation except for the questions asked. Questions were pretty basic, but I bombed because I was nervous.

I attended an SDE 1 interview at Amazon. The interviewer focused on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. I explained my approach clearly, optimized my solution, answered behavioral questions, and gained valuable interview experience.
Asked for intro, then 2 dsa question and 1 question on lp. Explain your thought process and start with brute force dry run it explain its tc and sc and theb jump on to optimised solution
