I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Feb 2021
Interview
I went through the process back in the spring 2021. It was for new grad role.
Got weeded out by the crazy debugging session.
7 problems in 20 min.
You basically have less than 3 min to read each problem, understand it and read the provided solution and then find the bug.
Keep in mind these were like Leetcode medium problems. Iykyk
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Don't remember specifically but Leetcode Medium difficulty level
I received an Online Assessment (OA) invitation from Amazon. The assessment consisted of two coding questions of medium to hard difficulty, focusing on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills. The questions required efficient solutions with optimized time and space complexity. After the OA, shortlisted candidates typically proceed to one or more technical interview rounds covering coding, system design, and behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles.
Applied online via career site, received OA link within 2 days and cleared it, Round 1- DSA, Round-2 DSA, Round 3- System Design, Round 4- Mixed Technical Discussion and Behavioral.
