August 1, 2021
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I am a Master's student and received a direct call from a recruiter through LinkedIn.

(Direct onsite)

The interview process consists of five rounds:

  • Three coding rounds
  • One system design round
  • One round with the Hiring Manager

You have the option to complete all your interviews on the same day or split them across two days. I chose the latter option.

Questions

  1. The first 15 minutes of every interview focused on behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles.

  2. Coding round: One LeetCode medium question with follow-ups (an optimal solution is expected).

  3. The given questions were not descriptive; input and output formats needed to be brainstormed.
