I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Dublín, Dublín) in Feb 2025
Interview
One single interview, one hour, with 30 min problem in whatever language i choose and 30 min questions about myself, regarding certain projects and situations from my CV (how did i find this solution, what was my thought process)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical problem was "returning if a robot has been to the same point before, given a vector of direction"
It had 2 rounds, and each one had some behavioral questions as well as one technical question. The behavioral questions were about different group work situations that I had before, and I had to describe them. The technical questions were LeetCode medium.

The role I was interviewed for is SDET. It was through our campus placements. There was an initial screening test, followed by 2 more online interview rounds. The screening round consisted of 7 chapters, like OOPS, Database, Linux, Computer Networks, Programming and so on.

Question 1
The screening round was an online test for like 3 hours. It went well, and I was selected for that. But in the actual interview, I was initially asked about my projects and 2 DSA Questions. The first DSA question was a maximum subarray-based question, and the second question was a finding the shortest path in a graph-based question
The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles. The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them. In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
