I was reached out to by a recruiter but unfortunately did not hear back afterwards. There was very little visibility into the tech stack during our initial call, and I never actually saw a formal job description throughout the entire process.
The Two Online Assessments (OA1 & OA2)
OA1 - Debugging/Logic: This part typically involves 5–7 debugging questions and logical reasoning/math questions. You are given code with errors and must fix them within a time limit.
OA2 - Coding & Simulation: This is usually 90 minutes and consists of two Medium-level coding problems (often LeetCode-style).
Work Style Assessment (Part of OA): A 15–20 minute personality test, often referred to as the 30–40 MCQ part, which evaluates your fit with Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles.

2. The One Interview (Technical Round)
The "one interview" mentioned is likely the first technical video interview (often via Amazon Chime).
Format: Typically 45–60 minutes, focusing on Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), specifically trees, graphs, or linked lists.
Focus: The interviewer focuses on your thought process, ability to optimize, and communication skills, not just the final working code.
