Process
The interview was a 45-minute session with an engineer.
It was half behavioral and half technical.
You can look up Amazon's behavioral question list and be prepared to answer anything, obviously using the STAR method.
My LeetCode problem was probably the easiest of all time.
I was preparing for a 2D dynamic programming problem, but I literally got a super simple string manipulation problem.
I passed the interview but was waitlisted and did not receive an offer.
