I applied through university. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
It was standard OA1, OA2, and final video call. Interviewers were cordial. Didn't make much conversation except for the questions asked. Questions were pretty basic, but I bombed because I was nervous.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Implement Stack/Queue from Scratch retaining min values at all times
2. Some array algorithm question
3. Some algorithm questions based on hashing
The first step is OA. Which I have failed. The questions seemed to me a bit different from the typical LeetCode. But if you follow the patterns, you can solve it.

Question 1
Two problems, one code base problem needed to solve with AI and another LeetCode-style problem
Wasn’t bad, had two rounds both technical
Round two was one one one call pretty easy and leetcode priority queue and stacks got the offer in one week and then started working
first was OA which was coding vs some personality/teamwork. then 4 rounds + bar raiser. standard behavioral + coding. some rounds focused questions on AI like how we use it in work.

Question 1
how do you use AI in your work? what were the tradeoffs? how do you validate your work?
