  3. Your thoughts and anything else you’d like to add:
    Normally, Amazon's interview is not hard, but you also need to prepare. OOD problem is also commenly asked. I'm lucky to have two easy questions https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-linked-list and https://leetcode.com/problems/same-tree. But you need to work through examples clearly, so we all need to practice when we are preparing algo problems.
    BQ is also important, common questions including "what is your favorite project?", "What will you do if you are facing a tight deadline?", "Your team work experience".. etc.
    Check Amazon's Leadership Principles and prepare stories around it.
    In my perspective, video interview is easier than phone interview, especially for international students. practice to cooperate with interviewers when solving problems instead of digging on your own.
    Communication is more important than solving problems, especially for Amazon.
