2 interviews with 1 technical + multiple behaviourals for each. The first technical was seemingly easy (they probably wanted to see my method of approach); however, the second technical was LeetCode medium.

Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.
