Round 1 https://leetcode.com/problems/jump-game-ii/
LP asked: Deliver Results
Round 2 https://leetcode.com/problems/missing-element-in-sorted-array/
Interviewer was a rather old engineer that had communication problems. Not sure if they fully understood my LP answers.
LP asked: Customer Obsession
Round 3 System Design
Very Amazon specific case.
Interviewer is an EM that came from WITCH background and was very fixated on having the system designed in a very specific manner. For example they really wanted me to have an API Gateway. Had micromanager vibes from this interviewer.
The interviewer also struggled to use Chime, struggled to navigate the system design whiteboarding tool.
LP asked: Disagree and Commit, which seemed very ironic given how they behaved during the system design. Perhaps it was a test!
Round 4 Bar-Raiser
Variation of https://leetcode.com/problems/detonate-the-maximum-bombs/
LPs asked: Invent and Simplify; Ownership
Interviewers seemed crappy and did not give me a good impression of AMZN. Cannot imagine working with Interviewer 3 as my manager for example. Is that the best you can offer besides pantry bananas, AMZN?
