I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview was simple with three questions:
1) remove duplicates in an array
2) hash table implementation in C
3) find max in an array
Since it was so easy, and I had given all the answers with correct complexities. Still did not get the offer.
Hackerrank round first and then two LC questions as the final round (BFS/DFS medium). Also had a behaviour component, testing the leadership principles and how my experiences aligned with them.
Expect one behavioral LP question followed by a leetcode medium or hard for two rounds. Be prepared to answer in depth on the behavioral questions and review LeetCode’s list of questions from Amazon.

HR interview, then I had 1 45 minute coding round with 10 minutes behavioral and 35 minutes coding. Behavioral round was typical star format questions probing at leadership principles. Ex. Tell me about a time you took initiative and it didn’t work out.
