I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2021
Interview
First interview was to solve 2 problems online on time without interviewer.
After was "On Site".
4 interviews by 45 min each. 2 coding, 1 design and 1 Leadership.
Every one of them have had Leadership & Behavioural questions for the first part of interview.
Didn't enjoy the interview over all.
The schedule was not provided and each of the interviews was a surprise on which one is that.
One of the interviewers gave me an angry look when I tried to repeat on what I understood from his words. Would never expect that from an interviewer.

Interview
The interview process started with an initial recruiter screening, followed by technical interview rounds. The technical interviews focused on data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and discussing my approach clearly. The interviewers also asked behavioral questions related to teamwork, challenges, and past projects. Overall, the process was structured and professional.

Question 1
Given a binary tree, how would you find the lowest common ancestor of two nodes if each node also has a parent pointer?
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
