Question 1
There were 2 coding questions. First was to extend a class that contained the names and ratings of movies so as to get a list of similar movies and the movie name with the highest rating. Second question was pretty simple, given an array of integers, print first two numbers that sum upto 10.
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).

The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
