first had a coding round that tested my problem-solving skills and knowledge of algorithms. After that, I went through three interviews, which were a mix of technical and behavioral questions. Each interviewer focused on different aspects, like system design, data structures, and cultural fit. I had to explain my thought process clearly, solve real-world problems, and demonstrate my understanding of key concepts. The entire experience was challenging yet rewarding, and it gave me valuable insights into Amazon's expectations.
