Process
I started the process with an OA that had two LeetCode easy-medium problems.
For the interview, I received a LeetCode hard problem. While I didn't solve it optimally, I still passed.
Most of the interview focused on behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
I highly recommend completing the OA and interview as soon as possible. Applicants who pass the interview process later may face waitlisting or rejection, which unfortunately happened to me.
Questions
The technical interview question was 'Concatenated Words' on LeetCode.
