I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Jerusalem, Jerusalem) in Jul 2026
Interview
Home test, 40 min for Hackerank/leetcode style question.
60 min for debugging task of a repository of a full stack app.
One api call doesn't behave as expected and you need to fix the bug so all the tests are passing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Amazon Online Assessment Coding Question – Circular Delivery Hubs
You are given a circular network of delivery hubs.
The function has the following signature:
def computeMinDeliveryTime(deliverySequence, hubTransitionsTime):
deliverySequence contains the hubs that must be visited, in the given order.
hubTransitionsTime[i] represents the travel time between hub i and the next hub in the circular network. The last hub is connected back to the first hub.
For every pair of consecutive hubs in deliverySequence, the delivery agent may travel either clockwise or counter-clockwise around the circle. The travel time of a route is the sum of the transition times along that route.
At each step, choose the direction that minimizes the travel time to the next required hub.
Return the minimum total time required to visit all hubs in deliverySequence in order.
Example:
deliverySequence = [1, 4, 2]
hubTransitionsTime = [2, 4, 1, 3]
The agent starts at hub 1, travels to hub 4 using the shorter direction, and then travels from hub 4 to hub 2 using the shorter direction.
The result is the sum of the minimum travel times for all consecutive pairs in deliverySequence.
The journey began with an online assessment containing two coding problems (one algorithmic, one mathematical) and a brief work-style survey. Following a successful screen, I completed a 45-minute phone interview focused entirely on behavioral questions, requiring me to recount past experiences using the STAR method
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager."
total 5 rounds - First OA assessment, quick telephone interview with recruiter, followed by 4 back to back technical and behavioral rounds. In technical round question were around topological graph sorting, cycle detection in linked list, and LRU cache. In behavioral round, the question were based on their 16 principles.

Question 1
How do you manage the disagreement at your workplace.
During the coding round, I was thrown a problem on edit distance that felt eerily familiar. Mid-way through, I realized it was the same question I had practiced on PracHub just a few days earlier. The interview included a system design question about the Amazon Locker service, which required me to think through various components and customer flows. The final round involved behavioral questions that focused on leadership principles. Overall, the process was challenging but fair, and I was thrilled to receive an offer that I happily accepted.

Question 1
Compute the edit distance between two strings and walk through the DP table and optimizations.
