It seems that I only have the onsite part and the final 3 virtual interview.
For the 3 virtual interview, each lasts for 45 mins. I have to say that they are very punctual. The interview will start exactly on time.

Round 1
The interviewer is a SDE1, and he joined Amazon for more than a year. He is very nice. Briefly talked about how will the 45mins go. 5mins for self introduction, 10mins for projects, 25mins for coding problem and 5mins for answering my questions.
The behavior questions:

  1. Tell me about who you are.
  2. Tell me about a time that you don't have much info but you need to make a quick decision.
  3. Then he asked me about some ml projects that I did.

Codeing question: 42.Trapping rain water. https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/

Round 2:
The interview is a SDE2 and have worked in Amazon for 7years.
He gave me an introduction of himself first.
Behavior question:

  1. Tell me a time when you are doing a project halfway and found that you made a misake.
  2. Tell me a time when you find your coworkers struggling and you decide to help them.

Coding question: It is a open question. You have a list of a lot of items and the units that they are sold. Give me the top 5 items that sell the most.
It came with a lot of follow up and difference cases.

Round 3:
The interviewer does not talk to me about himself or give me to ask questions in the end. He wears no expression all the time, which makes me very nervous. I don't have info about his position or team.
Behavior questions:

  1. Tell me a time you learned something new.
  2. Follow the previous one. If you have the chance to start it over, what will you do differently.

Coding question: Store sentence and search.
Follow up: what if it is a different language.
