Question 1
Mostly twisted version of leetcode medium and hard questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
Fairly relaxed interviews, questions didn't have the most clear-cut answers and they seemed to be looking for good problem solving skills over datastructure/algorithm knowledge with their programming problems.
