Completed a 2-Stage OA. The first Stage was the typical OA with 3 leet code easy-medium questions. The second stage was a behavioral exam, basically checking to see how you relate to Amazon's LP. Was invited to onsite afterward. 2 round remote onsite. Each round was the same, first 15 min was leadership principles questions and the last 45 min was technical.
