My tips and suggestions:
- Have a clear resume that indicates your gratuation dates that matches with Amazon's job description
- Amazon bulk process applications so wait until you hear from next steps, and don't be worried
- To well prepare for interview - have a clear answers that reflect Amazon's Leadership Principles and have STAR Approach
- Have a few stories ready from your previous experience to answer general questions
- Remember, it is not about getting all test cases cleared, its about how critically think. I made simple error in my solution, and we had a laugh about it
- Ask questions in your interview, even dumb ones, they are there to help you succeed, and perform well
- Read about amazons interview tips on their page where you will learn a lot about Amazon here https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/interviewing-at-amazon
- Lastly, don't panic, my interview was more like a conversation than a traditional interview!
