I was reached by the Recruiter via LinkedIn where I was asked whether I'd be interested in a role as SDE, which I accepted and throw email, a phone screening interview was set. I chose a day for my availability and prepared for it and when I went through successfully, an on-site coding interview was done just 5 days later and I made it again.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you helped a customer through a difficult process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Kansas City, MO) in Oct 2021
Interview
Multiple OA's. The first OA was a coding interview. Study hash tables! The second OA was behavioral through their own simulation — read their leadership principles! The annoying thing is, if rejected, they will not tell you which OA you failed.
The process went very smooth and after I finished both my OA1 and OA2, there is this final one round virtual onsite which just went through my solutions to OA1.
