I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2020
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn for an SDE1 role. I completed an online assessment, and then had four interviews for the onsite. The final round was half LPs, half technical (one OOD, three coding problems). Objectively, the coding problems I got were easy, but I struggled with answering follow up questions.
Overall my interview experience was good. Everyone I spoke with was nice and my recruiter was really helpful.
