The hiring and interview process is strict. The company is short on people, but doesn't compromise on their hires. That's good, because there is no empire-building tendency yet.
They like to focus on "design" which gets a bit annoying. They look for whether you ask them the "right" questions, so I failed my first interview, where I began designing the algorithm. I later realized that the solution is somewhat immaterial so long as you ask a lot of key questions about the system - remember the questions are for the interviewer to know that you thought about something, so even if you know the answer, ask.

There wasn't anything difficult. The most difficult part was figuring out what the interviewer wanted to hear based on their facial expressions.

Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

5 rounds of interviews
1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD

5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
