Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me questions around REST APIs, Python exception handling, SQL concepts like indexing and performance optimization, as well as practical coding (converting JSON to CSV). They also checked my understanding of security (unauthorized access, DEBUG mode in production) and the business domain of my project.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Aug 2025
Interview
Interviewer was not focused on the interview. Asked all the wrong questions for a DSA question. He asked me something against the basic logic of the question which made the question null and void but still expected me to solve. Interviewer didn't even switch on camera and was focused on something else and didn't respond properly
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Apr 2022
Interview
This experience is from 2022. I had an online assessment with two easy-level problems and two questions that asked me to explain my approach of each question. This was fairly straightforward, and I was able to move on to the next stage of interviews.
I had two technical interviews, each 45 minutes long, and I was supposed to have a bar raiser round afterward. Both technical interviews included questions about my resume and one coding question each. The interviews were engaging — I explained my approach as I worked through the problems, and the interviewers guided me when needed. I was able to solve both questions successfully.
Afterward, I was asked to schedule the bar raiser round, but hiring freeze started, and I never got the chance to complete it. I followed up for a couple of months, and my application status remained “under consideration.” After six months, the status changed to “no longer under consideration.”

They asked me to traverse a binary search tree (BST) and print the nodes level by level, with each level’s nodes connected using -> and ending with null. For example, given the tree:
a
/ \
b c
/ \ / \
d e f g
Output:
a -> null
b -> c -> null
d -> e -> f -> g -> null
