Three-step OA was expected. The work simulation was long and somewhat confusing, but the result seemed to be OK. Final round contains behavioral questions and a coding question. The interviewer digged deep into the BQs.
After the online debugging, code writing, and work day simulation rounds, I was invited to a 45 minute final round interview with an engineer.
Started off with interviewer introducing themselves, then introduced myself.
The questions consisted of:
- 2 behavioral questions based on the Leadership Principles.
- Some data structures/algorithms questions (no codewriting)
- 1 LC easy/medium code writing question
Then had the chance to ask interviewer questions.
Got my offer a week later.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Started with a 3-round virtual assesment.
1. First was debugging. (For this just try flipping around equals signs and <,> and changing indeces. It's nothing to complicated).
2. Next was a 2 question long leetcode type assesment. I think I had a variation of 2 sum and something with Trees. It wasn't too difficult.
3. Like a workplace assesment. Thought it was weird.
After these rounds I got notified that I qualified for final round. Final round was ~10 minutes of behavioral then right into technical question. They gave me an incredibly hard math question that I had no idea how to solve. The engineer was nice and said I wasn't expected to solve it, but I had no clue what to do. Failed the interview, no offer.
