I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Online coding interview. Basically a mix of leet code easy and medium type questions. I passed the first round but I don't think I passed the second. Overall was an interesting experience. I hope with enough practice I can pass again.
It was a very intuitive and mind engaging interview with problem solving and logical reasoning was tested. Coding was mostly to check if the logic was correct. Don't be scared about the syntax.
