Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 days.

4 rounds in total. 2 rounds each day:

  • Data Structures round
  • Algorithms round
  • Low-level design round
  • System design round

Interview was simple and straightforward. Amazon questions list with object level tuning.

Questions

Very vague system design question: to design something like A -> B with time tracking and messages will get to B through some queue—have to make sure it is under the limit capacity. Design that.
