I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Oct 2024
Interview
I recently had the opportunity to interview at Amazon for intern position, and it turned out to be a fairly relaxed experience. The interview was straightforward and focused primarily on two coding questions. The environment felt friendly, and the interviewer made an effort to put me at ease throughout the session.
The coding questions tested fundamental problem-solving skills and a good understanding of data structures and algorithms. They were manageable with some preparation and weren’t overly tricky. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I appreciated the supportive atmosphere during the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During my Amazon interview, I was asked two coding questions that focused on specific topics: Dynamic Programming (DP) and Bit Manipulation. These were the primary areas of emphasis. The DP problem tested my ability to approach problems systematically, breaking them into smaller subproblems and optimizing solutions. The bit manipulation question, on the other hand, assessed my understanding of binary operations and how to use them effectively for solving problems.
It was a great experience, and the focus on these topics highlighted their importance in building efficient and scalable solutions.
3 rounds of tech questions. Firat round is a leet code test, 2nd round a phone screen, final round a mix of coding challenge and personal experience question. Review process usually takes 1 to 2 days
Two technichal questions. trees and linked lists. it was pretty much leetcode style questions so you have to know your DSA. Other than that it was mostly behavioral. You will have to know the Amazon principles by heart. Knowing them alone doesnt take you that far you will have to live by them
