Was asked to solve LeetCode 136. When I started explaining my approach, the interviewer told me to just code.
After the live coding I was asked Amazon leadership principles questions. This is where I think I fumbled the interview as I had not prepared a lot for these.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2024
Interview
OA, then remote interview. Remote interview was primarily behavioral (asking questions based off resume) with one LC easy (merging two linked lists in sorted order). Behavioral questions related to amazon principles.
1 round only. For the behavioral part, I got 2 leadership principle questions with standard STAR format. Then for the technical part I got a variation of a lc med from the top tagged questions.
