Entrevista
I applied through a job portal and got the call from Amazon HR for SDE2 position and 3 technical rounds of interview was scheduled on weekend.
I cleared 3 rounds and I was told that there would be telephonic interview on midweek.
Later before the interview HR called me up to inform that the feedback from 3 rounds of interview was that I am good for SDE1 position and not SDE2. HR also told me that if I am fine with just SDE1 position then I can proceed with the interview.
And the reason for considering me for SDE1 and not SDE2 was that I was not good at software design, but in those 3 rounds of interview that I had given, I was just asked about algorithms and nothing about design.
I felt HR was trying to push me for SDE1 position so that they can get a 5+ years of experienced software developer for less compensation. Nevertheless I rejected to give any further rounds of interview.
Overall interview process was good and interviewer were friendly and helpful. But the above HR response was shocking and I feel probably overall HR/Management is not that great.
Anyways below are the interview questions for anybody who are interested:
1. Reverse the bit of a given integer.
2. Give a efficient data-structure/algorithm for auto-complete/auto-correct of a word typed in a search bar.
3. Find kth largest element in 2 sorted arrays.
4. Find longest increasing subsequence in an array.
5. Find the largest rectangle in histogram.
these are pretty simple questions, you can find the answers in google!.

Recruiter explicitly mentioned that the Technical Phone Screen interview did not contain any Behavioral question but the interviewer definitely asked 3 behavioral questions.
The coding problem was utterly garbage, it was a pretty trivial problem that anyone that knows DFS would be able to solve. That is not appropriate for a SDE 2 role. Not even useful to demonstrate candidate skills
PS: They care a lot more about what you've accomplished than whatever you can accomplish based on your skills

Entrevista
5 rounds of interviews
1. OA (2 Medium Hard Questions along with some Work Related Assessment which tested design related concepts)
2. HLD
3. DSA
4. LLD
5. Bar Raiser
Technically, the questions were of medium difficulty and with good polish, you should be able to solve these questions. The main challenge in Amazon is of the Leadership Principles which involve citing real work experience in the STAR format.
