Process
The process took 2 months.
Started with 1 OA HackerRank round. I then received round 2 within 2 days, which involved a workday simulation where I would pretend to be an Amazon SDE and solve issues that one may face in that role. Mostly just what decisions you would make, not pushing code that isn't tested, etc.
After that, I had my final round, which was 3 one-hour interviews with a different person each time back-to-back. It was 1 LC + 1 low-level system design with each person.
Questions
LC on making a calculator, a stack question Some low lvl sys design stuff on OOP and setting that up
