Interview
Pretty long -- first you have to complete 3 rounds of online assessments. First, you have 21 minutes to debug 7 methods, then you have your typical 100 minute coding challenge (which also came with a workstyle assessment), and the third round was a workplace simulation. After the online portion, I had a 45-minute phone interview.
My phone interview experience was extremely disappointing. I have never had such an unprofessional, uncourteous interviewer who explicitly accused me of cheating multiple times. The question he asked was pretty straightforward and common anyway (with only like 2 possible solutions from my knowledge), so I think it's highly likely that an interviewee would write code that resembles the sample solution. Also my camera was on (and my webcam is at the bottom of my screen), so I feel like it would have been pretty obvious if I was typing on a different tab or something. If he thought it was suspicious that I got the answer so quickly, he could have asked a different question or maybe added an extension so I could prove my understanding. Anyway, I hope no other candidates experience such terrible treatment from Amazon interviewers, but I was just appalled by the fact that instead of assuming that I had prepared well for my interview and really knew the concepts, his first instinct was to accuse me of cheating.
He also continued to make me feel uncomfortable throughout the behavioral portion of the interview as well (he just had a consistently unfriendly attitude towards me for some reason), and didn't even let me finish asking questions at the end of the interview. So I'm expecting a rejection, but even if I somehow get an offer, I will not be accepting it.

Question 1
In general the OA questions were pretty manageable (probably leetcode medium at worst), and I got a pretty easy question about binary trees during the phone interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Guwahati) in Aug 2019
Interview
He told me about himself, what he do in amazon.
He asked about my hobbies, what else i do apart form acads.
Then he started asking questions.
Only 2 Coding questions were asked and one question on Finite Automata was asked because Automata Theory was mention in key courses taken.

Interview
I was asked questions about some of my projects and work experience on my resume. Afterward, I was asked some questions to showcase my leadership principles. The specific question was: what would you do if a teammate for a project was sick and the deadline was approaching? Lastly, I was told to give an "information dump" of data structures and the complexity of operations for each.

Question 1
It was essentially a more difficult version of the "fizz buzz" question. No algorithms or data structures were involved, only if-else logic.
