I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Texas City, TX) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview experience was challenging, and I didn’t perform as well as I hoped. I struggled to communicate my thought process clearly under pressure, and a few data-structure and algorithm questions caught me off guard. I also rushed through parts of my solutions, which led to avoidable mistakes. By the time I reached the later rounds, my confidence had slipped, and I wasn’t able to recover my pace or clarity. Overall, the process highlighted gaps in my preparation rather than my strengths.
