Interview Process at Amazon:
I received a call from HR informing me about the interview process. The complete process consisted of the following rounds:
Online Test (Round 1):
This was the initial screening round.
It included 2 DSA coding questions:
One was based on Dynamic Programming (DP)
The other was based on Graphs
Technical Interviews (Rounds 2 & 3):
Two rounds focused on core data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills
Questions covered optimal approaches and real-time debugging
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me two DSA questions during the interview:
LeetCode 767 – Reorganize String:
I started by explaining the brute-force approach to the problem. After that, they asked me to come up with an optimal solution. I was able to derive the correct optimal approach during the discussion, but I couldn’t implement the most efficient version within the interview timeframe. At first, the problem seemed difficult under pressure, but in hindsight, it turned out to be quite manageable.
LeetCode 22: Generate Parentheses
I understood the problem well and was able to explain the optimized backtracking solution. However, due to time constraints, they didn’t ask me to write the code.
The interview process involves resume screening, initial HR call, technical or skills assessment, one or more interviews with hiring managers or team leads, and finally, a decision followed by an offer.
