It was nice. There were 3 rounds of interview. And the questions asked were DSA and DBMS concepts. The interviewer was friendly and each round lasted for around 30 - 45 mins
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Calcutta) in Jul 2022
Interview
was easy pretty easy only basic DSA problems with logic were required later DBMS them OOPS then a bit about my communication skills also. It was a pretty old interview I gave in my 3rd year of college
Pretty smooth no suprises. It was a 2 hour interview with 15 questions which were a combination of behavioral and technical problems. Focus on the Amazon leadership principles because they grill you on that and be sure to be thorough with your resume
