I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Hyderabad) in Jan 2026
Interview
Leetcode hard 3 questions. Expectation of the interviewer to solve all the question with optimized approach. I was able to solve 2/3 questions and proposed brute force for the third one...which was missing edge cases .
The online assessment (OA) consisted of two problem-solving, situation-based questions designed to evaluate leadership principles (LP). This was followed by an additional round containing two LP questions and one data structures and algorithms (DSA) question. Despite completing all sections, I was ultimately rejected after the assessment process.
it was 1 hour phone interview and they asked 30 min of behavioural. after 30 min they asked word search problem but I didnt work on tries and he was specific to do it on tries thats where the issue was and lost the opportunity
