I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Jul 2025
Interview
Didn't get a shortlisted for interview, the role was SDE Intern (2m), for Indian office. The OA consisted of two questions to be solved in 90 mins. The opportunity was only for students in their penultimate year and the OA questions were comparatively easier to what is asked in the standard SDA intern role
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The first OA question was a simple binary search question, similar to Koko eating bananas on leetcode, Given some parcels initially assigned to n delivery boys, there are k additional parcels which you have to divide among the delivery boys such that, the maximum number of parcels carried by a delivery boy is minimum.
In the 2nd problem given an unsorted array of lenth n, you can select any subarray of size k, 1<=k<=n and increase all elements in that subarray by x.
You can do this operation as many times (even 0). Output the minimum sum of all values of x over all operations, such that the final array is non-decreasing
i applied online around october, got the OA around march/april originally for summer but headcount was reached so i expressed interest in being considered for their fall internship. they reached out in late may and got my interview scheduled in june

The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
