Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through the Amazon website and was contacted within 15 days.

  1. There was a HackerRank coding round.
  2. After being selected, there were four interviews:
    • Two focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)
    • One on System Design
    • One on Machine Learning (ML) breadth

Each interview lasted 60 minutes, with 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions.

Questions

In the DSA round, they asked:

  1. Create a BST from the preorder traversal of a tree.
  2. Return a list of the next greater element.

In the system design round, they asked for creating an image search engine from text descriptions.

Overall, out of 4 hours:

  • ML discussion was for half an hour.
  • 1.5-2 hours were on vague behavioral questions.
