I was assigned to the Kindle Fire Launcher (home screen) team and had a great time this summer. My manager, mentor, and colleagues were all very helpful, and I loved the atmosphere so much. I would definitely go back to our team if I got a return offer.
I feel very lucky that I got to be assigned to our team, but since the assignment was completely random, I thought that could be a con.
The interview was smooth. It consisted of two behavioral questions and one LeetCode medium problem. Overall, it wasn't a hard interview, but my lack of preparation and sleep didn't help. I would focus on arrays and strings.
Interview (one round): They asked some data structures and algorithms questions, and also some basic CS knowledge. I found it not easy at all. The market is really not doing well right now.
It was a long process, but I would say worthwhile. Timeline: * August: Applied * December: Heard back for OA * 1 week later: 16 Amazon Principles * February: 1 45-minute interview
