Process
1st Interview: OA. Broken into two parts: Technical then Behavioural.
They asked me two LeetCode-style questions (around LC Medium) then their Amazon workplace simulation.
2nd Interview(s): If you do well on the OA, they invite you to an interview loop. This consists of three interviews, back-to-back-to-back. One interview focuses on technical (LeetCode Medium-Hard), one is a blend of technical and behavioural, and the final interview focuses mainly on behavioural. Really focus on the STAR method for answering behavioural questions, along with relating to the 14 Amazon Leadership Principles.
