I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Stockholm, ) in Feb 2021
Interview
Interview process was smooth. I was able to answer all of the questions. The OA was split into 3 parts with OA1 being the Debugging sections, OA2 is the Coding part and the Workplace style Simulator, and the OA3 is the aptitude / Logical Reasoning section. Then a final interview for 30 minutes.

Question 1
Critical connections in a network, Two sum unique pairs, zig-zag level order traversal of a binary tree, LRU Cache
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together

Interview
Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.

Question 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
