The bar raiser can single-handedly reject. Treat the behavioural half as equally weighted.

Early days. Work the Amazon sheet in order and let the planner pace you.
The loop
- 1Online assessment
Two problems in 90 minutes plus a work simulation and behavioural survey.
- 2Loop round 1
Coding plus leadership principles. Roughly half the time goes to behavioural.
- 3Loop round 2
Coding and low level design, often around an Amazon-flavoured scenario.
- 4Bar raiser
An interviewer from outside the team with veto power. Heaviest on leadership principles.
What actually matters here
- Prepare twelve to fifteen STAR stories. Half your loop is behavioural and it sinks more candidates than the coding does.
- The online assessment repeats a small set of themes: heaps, BFS on grids, and sorting with a custom comparator.
- Say the leadership principle out loud when you answer, for example this is customer obsession because.
- Optimal is preferred but a clean working solution with good communication clears the bar.
- Expect a low level design question such as a parking lot or an order system.
