Overworked (Slack expected to be open during weekends and project deliverables were often unrealistic).
No communication with mentor (could rarely book time on his calendar).
Bad workplace environment (a particular SDE 2 would often be called out during stand-up versus in a private discussion with the manager).
It should be noted that my experience was extremely subjective (the project deadline for the team lined up with when my internship was ending, so that contributed to the difficulty in communication), but it should be noted.
The interviewer asked one question about Amazon Chime. My question was to create a tree from a list of tuple edges. It was fairly straightforward. I was waitlisted, then received no offer. However, the interview process was very nice.
The interview depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you will get something from Neetcode 150. If you are unlucky, you may get something out of the box, and the interviewer might not help much.
Stage 1: Coding interview with 2 Leetcode Medium problems in 70 minutes. Stage 2: Live coding interview with general questions about teamwork and leadership, technical questions, and an open-ended systems design question.
