The first level of screening was a technical coding assessment involving algorithmic problem-solving. It was followed by a virtual technical interview focusing on data structures, system design, and a behavioral round emphasizing teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Question 1
Question:
Q: What was the one thing that they asked you?
Answer (Optional):
They asked me to design a scalable system for a URL shortener. I answered by outlining the architecture, including database schema, load balancer, and hashing mechanism for generating unique short links. I also discussed how to handle edge cases and scale the system.
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
