OA, few months later got loop invite. 3 hour long loop, first one: behavioral + 1 LC, second: behavioral + system design, third: 2 LC (one medium one hard). Second and third interviewers were nice, but first was very disinterested and didn't want me to explain my approach or code.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2025
Interview
Got pushed to final round loop after 4 months from the OA. The loop was 3 rounds and had an OOP round, bar raiser behavioral, and DSA. The interviewers were really good for the first two rounds, but the third interviewer seemed to be angry the entire time despite me acting polite and explaining my approach and solution.
