The people are friendly and ambitious, and the culture is supportive but also competitive. If you're looking for an intense, fast-paced environment, it is for you. However, bagging an internship with the e-commerce giant won't come easy as the company is known for its tough and gruelling interview process.

Interview
First was one coding challenge using Hacker Rank and a behavioral challenge style too. Passing the OA, I had 4 interviews, each with at least 2 behavioral questions besides the technical one.

Question 1
I had the typical behavioral questions: - Tell a time when I received feedback. What was it for and how did I handle it? - Talk about a time a had a big responsibility or had put on a lot of work into something. - Talk about a time a decision wasn't the one I wanted or thought wasn't the correct one. How did I handled it?
Leet code style q & as. 4 rounds each 45 min, really nice and helpful. Most of focus is on these technical questions and leader ship principles, OA is required for on site invite
