      Applied on-line, set phone interview: First phone interview: talked about resume; past project, concept design, technologies, he asked so many question related with my projects; then he asked OOP - OOD; then shared document and gave me four function and asked to choose any 1 to complete, all of them were simple: int to string: palindrome; count max char. appeared in given string; he was cool and friendly. Second phone interview: He was busy in meeting so reschedule on same day, he talked in-detail of projects design: and core logic part of all my projects one after one, He planned to ask programs, we didnt get time: but he was so impressed and he liked all my works and answers. Take-home project: As I expected but without any notification they gave me simple problem to solve and willing to submit within 2 days, I was busy in other work so 1st day wasted: he expected some questions from me: and I asked some, as problem was so simple, I asked view questions: My solution was perfect as he want: submitted final answer. End-up with no offer :( may be I asked few questions and he wanted some more

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      Could not use AI during the first interview. The recruiter was helpful in the screener but the coding exam was tough including the take home test. Did a few Leetcode examples but apparently that wasn't enough.
