The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chapel Hill, NC) in Mar 2022
Interview
Given take home code test. Had to do two algorithms.Then did virtual interview which lasts 5 hours. Lots of behavioral leadership questions (very similar to ones you find if you google amazon leadership questions). 3 code tests as well and one system design question. System design was probably most negative experience I have had thus far interviewing in my years experience. Interviewer was very critical and overall unpleasant experience. Didn’t feel like a normal back and forth discussion. Recruiter that reached out was nice and pleasant though.

Interview
Coding challenges were first then situational questions in the form of emails and then multiple choice on what will be the most effective action given the email. Then there was personality quiz that asked which is more like you “I like to be prepared” or “people can count on me”.

Question 1
Had to do a coding assessment which was two coding problems. One was on largest subarray combination that equaled a value. The other was an array of numbers and you need to create a new sub array with maximum combination so that the amounts out of the original array increases at least 1 each step ie [5,4,3,3, 5] the max subarray is [1,2,3] another is [3,5] which gives max 8.
