Process
I attended an Amazon interview for the trainee role.
The interviewer started with introductions, my resume, and some behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles. These covered topics such as how I handled challenges, worked in a team, and took ownership of tasks.
After that, they asked me two coding questions of moderate difficulty.
