I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon in Mar 2024
Interview
Only a 45 minute session with an engineer. Half behavioral half technical. You can look up Amazon's behavioral question list, be prepared to answer anything and obviously use STAR method. My leetcode problem was probably the easiest of all time. I was preparing for like a 2D dynamic programming but literally got a super simple string manipulation problem. Passed the interview but got waitlisted and did not get offer.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had multiple deadlines and how did you handle that?
The interview was not as stressful as I imagined. The problem was doable and the interviewer was really nice and friendly the whole time. There was time to finish the problem and to ask questions at the end.
