The interview process and format
I was contacted by a recruiter about a week after I applied to their SDE university hire role. The first round consisted of the following assesments,

  1. Online Coding Round (2 Questions)
    [1] Longest segment without a bad number.
    [2] Efficient Harvest Problem

    Solved both of the problems for all test cases with almost 20 minutes to spare.
    Note: You should be alright, if you are able to solve leetcode medium and easy level problems.
    [The entire coding round is for 70 minutes]

  2. Amazon Workstyle Assesments test- The test lasts for close to three hours, but typically takes about an hour or two to complete. Given a simulated work environment you are asked to answer questions related to work conflict, decision making etc. I felt it was more subjective but the internet recommends you learn the leadership principles for this round.

I was very confident having solved the coding round well, but they reached out with a generic rejection email after two days from the second round. Amazon does not provide feedback on score nor performance.
