Handed my resume to Amazon recruiters at my university's recruiting event and received an invite to interview with them about 2-3 weeks later, which took place on campus. The interview itself consisted of two 45-minute 1:1 interviews and were with software developers from various Amazon teams.

One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.

1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
