Process

Here's a quick breakdown of my interview process:

  • Round 1 - Online Assessment (OA): This consisted of coding problems, debugging exercises, and a work simulation designed to assess problem-solving skills and alignment with Amazon’s Leadership Principles.

  • Round 2 - Final Interviews (3 rounds, 1 hour each):

    • Interview 1: Focused on Leadership Principles (LP) – I was asked three LP questions with deep follow-ups.

    • Interview 2: A mix of two LP questions and one Leetcode Medium-level coding problem.

      30-minute break

    • Interview 3: One LP question followed by a Leetcode Hard-level coding problem.

Both coding problems were from Amazon-tagged Leetcode questions from the last 30 days, and I successfully solved them along with all LP questions.
