I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (New York, NY)
Interview
I had 4-5 interviews in the loop. The first one was a system design interview - 2 interviewers (asked to write classes that would make up the system). Asked if i knew common design patterns. Second, was a bar raiser interview. Third, was a leetcode graph style question with minor variation. Final was a hiring manager interview which involved using a priority queue. Not exactly leetcode questions but similar enough. Each interview involved a behavioral section with STAR method recommended.

Long, 4 or 5 rounds.
The engineers were a mixed bag, Some were nice, others werent.
They sometimes ask the same question but expect different answers. The eng questions are predictable at times.
Focused on DSA. I was asked to solve a medium-level Leetcode problem (Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters), followed by a clean, production-ready code write-up with time/space complexity analysis. The interviewer was supportive and offered hints when I got stuck.
