      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Compute the edit distance between two strings and walk through the DP table and optimizations.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Design the Amazon Locker service, from customer drop-off and pickup flow to slot assignment.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Given a sparse array, find the maximum-sum contiguous window of size k efficiently.
