I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2025
Interview
The interview had 3 rounds. 1st, 2nd and 3rd were same pattern. 1st 15 minutes were LP questions and the rest was LC coding questions. Medium level leetcode questions. I would say to spend a lot of time on solving BFS and DFS questions and understanding the BFS and DFS in every way possible. Study hashmap as well. Do the neetcode 150 questions.

Question 1
Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i], without using division, and in O(n) time.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
