I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process consists of two technical rounds, each designed to evaluate different aspects of problem-solving ability:
1. First Round – Coding Assessment
The first level is a hands-on coding interview where candidates are given two programming questions.
The goal is to implement working solutions that successfully pass all the provided test cases.
This round primarily evaluates:
Logical thinking
Problem-solving efficiency
Code correctness and edge-case handling
2. Second Round – DSA Coding Interview
Candidates who clear the first round proceed to a more in-depth Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) interview.
This round focuses on:
Understanding of core DSA concepts
Ability to apply algorithms to real-time problems
Optimizing solutions for time and space
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of student marks, find the minimum number of chocolates to distribute so that every student gets at least one chocolate and students with higher marks than their adjacent peers get more chocolates.
Had one virtual interview with an engineer. Prior to that, there was a online assessment with a leadership assessment (behavioral). Process was smooth. Heard back within reasonable time (1-2 weeks).

Question 1

First there was an online assesment and two rounds of tech interview where each round had 2 dsa problems which were lc medium and some behavioral questions and project related question.
The interview process was straightforward and friendly. It started with a recruiter screening, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer asked basic coding questions, object-oriented programming concepts, and a few behavioral questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles. The coding problems were not very difficult, and the interviewer was willing to provide hints when needed. Overall, the experience was positive and well organized.
