I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2022
Interview
2 Code questions on Hackerank in 70 minutes.
Got them right after sending CV, and had 5 days to enter the link and start answering them. It's been two week and I still didn't get any answer..
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
1.Code Question 1
Amazon Shopping provides a product search feature that makes browsing products easier. Instead of showing exact matches only, it also displays transformable results for better browsing. A word a is said to be transformable to a word b if a is a subsequence of b. Given searchWord and resultWord, find the minimum number of characters that must be appended at the end og the searchWord, such that resultWord is a subsequence of the modified searchWord.
Note: A subsequence of a string is a string that results from deleting 0 or more characters from the string without changing the order of the remaining characters. For example, Amazon is a subsequence of abcmmdaqzxopn while abc is not a subsequence of cdhbqaab.
2.Code Question 2:
Amazon Engineering maintains a large number of logs of operations across all products. A software engineer is debugging an issue in product. An efficient wat yo analyze logs is to write automated scripts to check for patterns. The engineer wants to find the maximum number of times a target word can be obtained by rearranging a subset of characters in a log entry.
Given a log entry s and target word t, the target word can be obtained by selecting some subset of characters from s that can be rearranged to form string t and removing them from s. Determine the maximum number of times the target word can be removed from the given log entry.
Note: both strings s and t consist only of lowercase English letters

Interview
The first stage was the typical coding assignment, code review test, and behavioral test. After passing, you will be scheduled to an interview with a current SDE at Amazon, with another coding question during the interview.

Interview
There were 3 rounds of interview. The first round was a coding challenge, which was not too bad. The second round was behavioral, although it was more like a test than an interview with a person. The third one was programming with a software engineer.

Question 1
In the third round, I got asked a lot of data structures and algorithms questions.
