Got an online assesment and a technical interview. It was a leetcode medium question and not a super challenging one. The interviewer was super nice and friendly and overall pretty good experience.
Interview had 2 coding questions, 1st one was rotated binary search, 2nd one was to check if input string was made up of an array of substrings. The questions were easy and straightforward, nothing was asked related to the projects I'm working on.

Typical Amazon interview, very LP-focused for a one-hour round. Other two rounds were technical with one being Leetcode Medium and the other being OOP. One out of three interviewers was nice to talk to.
