Process

I went through an online assessment that focused on coding exercises and data structures.

After that, I had a phone interview that included both technical questions and Amazon Leadership Principles.

Finally, I attended a virtual onsite loop with four separate interviews:

  • Two on algorithms/coding
  • One system design session
  • One behavioral interview heavily emphasizing examples of ownership and dealing with ambiguity.

The entire process took about three weeks, and each interviewer was friendly but thorough.
