Amazon Software Development Engineer SDE1 interview questions

On August 28th, I received an OA link for the SDE1 position. It included 2 medium-level coding questions (70 minutes total) and a work-style assessment. The email mentioned the entire test would take up to 2 hours. I approached the work-style questions carefully, keeping Amazon's Leadership Principles in mind, which took me more time - but it was worth it. I got a call for interviews on November 6th, and my first interview was scheduled for November 7th with almost no prep time. All my interviews were conducted virtually. In the first interview, there was one graph-based coding question, and we discussed my projects and past internship experience. My second interview was on November 19th, where I was asked 2 medium-hard level coding questions. For one question, my interviewer gave me 2 hints before I cracked it, while the second one I solved easily. This was followed by a Leadership Principles (LP) based behavioral question. My third interview - the Bar Raiser round - was on December 12th. It focused entirely on Leadership Principles. I didn't get the offer, possibly because I took the Bar Raiser too lightly, or perhaps because my recruiter left Amazon right after my interview, which caused significant delays in the decision-making process. After 3 months of following up, I received a super generic rejection email with no feedback or specifics.

Three rounds in total. First behavioral, second technical DSA coding, third Low Level Design. Interviewers were friendly, and questions were easy to crack. I would say preparing Amazon LPA is the best and sure-shot way to crack the interview.
