I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2019
Interview
I was interviewed for an internship.
1st round was online assessment, code was given, and you have to find bugs(speed matters in this round). There were few logical reasoning questions in this round.
2nd round was an online coding assessment—two medium coding questions. I was not able to compile my second question code because I was trying to make some last-minute change, but logic was pretty much correct.
The 3rd round was a coding interview. Two medium coding questions were asked-one on the binary tree and other on bit manipulation.
Make sure you know the complexity of your code and how to optimize it.
** Read Amazon Leadership Principles before your interview and prepare your behavioral questions accordingly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I have signed NDA, so I cannot reveal the questions.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together

Interview
Recruiter reached out and set up an onsite loop after the initial steps. Four back to back rounds in one day. Two coding heavy rounds run by senior engineers, one round with the hiring manager, and one behavioral round with a bar raiser. Mix of leadership principles and data structures throughout. Heard back within a week.

Question 1
Standard BFS grid problem. Given a grid, find the time for all cells to reach a target state where the spread happens one layer at a time.
How did you answer: Clarified the constraints, walked through the approach, then coded a clean BFS from all starting points at once. Tracked the number of layers until everything was covered.
