I applied through university. I interviewed at Amazon in Sept 2020
Interview
I applied for the 6 month internship through college.
Round 1 (Online Assessment): This was conducted on AMCAT. It had 4 sections (total 2.5 hrs)-
1. Code debugging section - 7 questions, C/C++/Java (20 minutes)
2. Coding section - 2 questions (70 minutes)
3. Workstyle assessment (20 minutes)
4. Reasoning ability - 24 questions (35 minutes) - we could not skip and return to a question
38 students were selected for online interviews.
Round 2 (F2F Technical Interview): This was conducted on their own platform Amazon Chime (1 hr)-
First I had to give an introduction about myself. Then 2 coding questions were asked.
Round 3 (F2F Technical Interview): (1 hr)-
Again a brief introduction about myself. Then 2 coding questions were asked.
15 students got the offer for internship, I was one of them.
Note -
1. even if you are not able to give the correct solution, try to build your solution considering all the cases given by the interviewer. I did the same in one question and it really helped.
2. Amazon focuses only on DS Algo and their leadership principles.
3. They ask questions mostly on Tree, Graph, DP, Stack (in the decreasing order of frequency)
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One online assessment and one virtual interview included a coding round and leadership principle questions; overall, the process was fairly straightforward and not overly challenging for me throughout the experience.
2 rounds:
1st round: 3 behaviorals: Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you used Gen AI, tell me about a time you faced a problem in one of your experiences
Leetcode similar to LRU Cache but a variant
2nd round: 3 more behaviorals; tell me about yourself, a specific experience in my internship, a time you disagreed with manager/peer on a project
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Pretty difficult OA didn't need to get full score. One round technical interview with SDE. Interview was pretty easy, most people I knew at school and friends ended up passing the interview. Took about 1 month to hear back after interview
