A lot of people say that Amazon has terrible work-life balance. But after talking to other Amazonians and working on my team during the summer, I've realized that work-life balance is tied closely to your team.
Thankfully, I had a great team that really valued work-life balance, so there was no expectation to work beyond your 8 hours. It was actually discouraged to work more than 8 hours a day.
This being said, I have talked to other Amazon employees who have had terrible work-life balance. It sucks that work-life balance is Russian roulette and there are no guarantees that your team will be supportive of your boundaries.

The interviewer was very unhelpful and not responsive to anything I was doing. The question was fairly doable but confusing; thus, I expected at least some response to the code that I was writing, if not guidance, but I got nothing.

It was just one interview with LPs and one medium LC (Group of Anagrams). The LPs: 1. Describe one time you faced a challenge. 2. Describe one time you received bad feedback.

The behavioral and technical portions were part of a single round. Interviewers were very friendly. The interview started with behavioral questions, which were targeted towards specific leadership principles. I was given a single technical question
