Candidate-reported interview process

after passing the online assessment, i got an email from amazon university talent acquisition (auta) to set up my virtual on-site interviews. the next step was a virtual onsite, which was three 1-hour rounds.

I didn't make it past the first interview, but it had three parts: two coding questions and then some questions about me and my behavior.

First, you'll do an online assessment with two coding problems, basically LeetCode medium difficulty. If you pass that, you'll have a video call with an engineer from North America. After that, you'll either get an offer, a waitlist spot, or a rejection.
