Applied on college job site. Received an email to pick a date to have two 45 minute interviews at my college career center. First interview had a pretty common question. Second interview was more difficult, not types of question you would see in Cracking the Coding Interview. Overall, the interview was fair. Just practice writing out code on paper or a whiteboard if you have a face-to-face interview and brush up on basic algorithms! I interviewed on Thursday and received an email with offer on Monday.

My Amazon interview process started with an online assessment that included behavioral questions based on Amazon’s Leadership Principles and a coding assessment. After passing the online assessment, I moved on to the in person interviews. My first interview was with the hiring manager and focused mostly on behavioral questions tied to Amazon’s Leadership Principles. We also discussed my previous experience and projects. Toward the end, I was given a system design coding problem. After that, I interviewed with a lead engineer and another engineer. That interview was more technical and included a LeetCode style coding problem. I had to explain my thought process, work through the problem, and discuss my solution with both engineers. Made it to the final round of interviews
