It was a walk in interview. Amazon picked me up from Linkedin and sent me an invite for the interview. Interview consisted of 4 1:1 technical rounds of 45 mins each. The interviewers were very nice and smart. The questions that I was asked weren't very hard but I believe to get an offer from Amazon you have to impress all of the interviewers because I am pretty sure I impressed all but 1 and hence did not get an offer. But well it was a very good experience. One learns more from failures than from success:)

It was a 2-3 round process, depending on how your interview went, with increasingly hard DSA questions followed by some HR and behavioural questions. First round was mostly easy and medium leetcode, followed by medium and hard questions in the second round and above on more complex topics.
