Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Time you received critical feedback from your manager
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied through an employee in late December, and here's how the process went:
- Online Assessment: Got an OA a week later with two coding problems, similar to one easy and one hard LeetCode.
First Interview (Jan 2025): Had my first interview about a month later with a Senior SDE. We introduced ourselves, talked about my past projects, and I solved a medium LeetCode problem on arrays.
Second Interview (March 2025): A month later, I had a technical interview with an SDE + shadow. I solved two medium problems, one on arrays with customized binary search and another on binary trees. I struggled at first with the second problem but communicated my thought process and solved it with a bit of help.
Final Interview (next day): Had a behavioral interview with a Senior SDE. We talked about my projects in detail, and I answered 3-4 LP questions using the STAR method.
Additional notes:
- Interviewers were friendly and made things feel casual
- Be ready to explain how data structures work and provide time/space complexity.
- Always ask questions at the end, excellent way to learn more about the team and company
