The process consisted of an initial online assessment with coding challenges on data structures and algorithms, followed by a technical interview. During the technical round, I was asked to solve problems in real-time while explaining my thought process. What was a bit disheartening is the interviewer not indulging in the interview process. They gave a question and muted their mic and were not responding.

Question 1
You are given a tree with n nodes and n-1 edges. Each node has a price associated with it. The tree can be rooted at any node, and the "cost" of a root is defined as the difference between the highest and lowest price sums of all paths starting from that root.
Given the tree structure and the price array, return the maximum possible cost across all possible root choices.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
First round with hr screening - 2 leetcode questions then hr manager screening then the loop which consists of 4 interviews each an hour long. The 4 interview questions they asked where three medium leetcode questions. And one system design interview question about how to shadow deploy a test software to millions of users.
Recruiter reaches out after applying through Amazon careers, no referral. Had an initial OA, then after a month had four rounds in two days - three coding one system design. Each round had 30 min behavioral and 30 min coding.
