First had a phone call with the recruiter that lasted about 20 minutes and got some great information. I had a couple other Amazon recruiters reach out to me about other opportunities. My recruiter told me that I could go with him and if it doesn't work out I can immediately interview for other opportunities, which I found is not the case. Second, I had a online assessment. The assessment wasn't bad and consisted of 2 easy/medium leetcode style questions. I was able to pass all test cases. Third, I had the virtual onsite interview. I had a good preparation for the interview. About 3 days before the virtual onsite my recruiter told me I was now interviewing for SDE II. I had not brushed up on system design which is one of the SDE II interviews. I tried to get caught up but 3 days wasn't enough time. I was insanely nervous for the interviews and could hardly think straight because I was so nervous for the system design. In the end it was my fault because I blocked up because I was so nervous for my system design interview. Ironically I feel I did pretty well on system design. Amazon has a very good hiring process, I just got unlucky with my recruiter.

I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
