The interviews were just as expected, part behaviour questions and another part of coding. In the last interview there was no coding part but instead an architecture problem. The behaviour questions are just as important as the rest and require candidates to enter into details, giving real examples from real projects done in the past and not hypotetical. I explained exactly what I did and how my work contributed to the success of my project.

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

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.
