I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Bellevue, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied June 2024, OA received in September, interviewed in early October, heard back 3 business days later. The OA involved a regular coding assessment, a work-style assessment, and a work simulation. I applied for the New Grad 2024 role, so my interview process might have been a little different than the regular, but I had three interviews. One was fully behavioral, one was half behavioral and half technical, and the third was entirely technical. None of them were particularly hard, because I think they were looking to see how I thought more than getting a certain answer out of me. Technical problems were a weird combination of leetcode and theory.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you were assigned a task where you had to handle lots of data.
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
