Question 1
trapping rainwater problem (available on leetcode and gfg )
There were 3 interviews of 45 mins each and in each Behavioral questions were asked before the Coding question. First round had a lot of Behavioral questions and had a OOD question very open ended and very few inputs were given.Rest went a lot better than the first but felt there was no concrete reason for a rejection.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2021
Interview
Had an OA. Then a final round with 4 one-hour interviews.
OA was two leetcode-style questions. I gave DP solutions to each one, not sure if you're allowed to brute force or not.
Final round interviews all had behavioral questions. One was all behavioral. Two had leetcode-style algorithms. One was OOP.
