Question 1
OA1 questions can be found online. It's random.
Final round interview questions can be varied and found online (Leetcode premium, etc.) however I did not get one found on the list and it stumped me. I had to implement a Sandbox class for a hypothetical AWS Lambda team, coding the constructor, add, and put functions based on various criteria. The question was most similar to implement LRU cache.
I got asked two coding questions and some behavioral questions. The coding questions were simple, about lc easy-medium, one data structure and one algorithm question. The behavioral questions weren't directly related to the leadership principals.
