I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Jordan, MN) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process started with an online assessment that included debugging questions and algorithmic challenges under strict time constraints. The problems were medium to hard level on LeetCode, and understanding the question quickly was critical. I felt the time pressure was intense and made it difficult to think clearly. The questions tested core data structures like hash maps, stacks, and arrays. There was no live interview after the OA. I received a rejection email a few days later. Overall, the process was challenging but fair. Make sure to prepare well and practice mock tests with time limits.

Question 1
One of the coding problems asked to find the number of subarrays with exactly K distinct integers.
It was smooth and went well. I have been asked 2 question and have solved the both. Have not got the offer and the had received a rejection mail. (I dont have any idea why I have tell so this not the truth so don't believe)
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I only got an online assessment so far. I got it all correct, but I am still waiting on a response from them. The assessment consisted of two leetcode medium questions; the first one was a bit easier than the second one. Then had to answer questions based on situations as a sde at amazon choosing the best answers.

Question 1
Developers at Amazon are working on a new algorithm to sort a permutation of n integers using the bitwise AND operation. For an array of integers, arr and some chosen integer k, you can swap the i-th element with the j-th element only if (arri] & arr[j)) = k, where '&' represents the bitwise AND operation.
Given an array arr of n integers which is a permutation of integers from 0 to n - 1, i.e. contains all integers from 0 to n - 1, find the value of the maximum non-negative integer k for which the array can be sorted using this algorithm. It can be shown that it is always possible to sort the array. Report O if the array is already sorted.
