Interview
1. Online Assessment. One leetcode easy and one medium. Feels like it is more a test of reading comprehension as it is quite lengthy to read
2. Online Assessment. Workstyles, Day to Day simulation which test your knowledge of the companies leadership principles

I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
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.
2 rounds:
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
