I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
I recently had the opportunity to interview with Amazon. The process consisted of a technical round that evaluated both my problem-solving skills and my understanding of modern technologies.
In the DSA section, I was asked a question based on partition dynamic programming. The problem required identifying optimal ways to divide a structure (such as an array or string) into segments and applying DP to compute the best result. I approached it by defining a state, exploring all possible partitions, and building a recurrence relation. The interviewer focused on my thought process, clarity in explaining transitions, and time complexity analysis.
In addition to DSA, I was also asked several Generative AI theory questions. These included concepts like Large Language Models (LLMs), differences between traditional machine learning and generative AI, and practical ideas such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and hallucinations. The discussion emphasized conceptual clarity and real-world applications rather than deep theoretical details.
Overall, the interview experience was positive and well-structured. The interviewer was attentive to my approach and encouraged clear communication throughout the discussion.
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.
LC top 100 tagged — would recommend doing the top 100 and it is likely you will have question from there — the first 40 mins were behavioral lp, then the technical
The Quick DSA Check: A 20-minute easy question usually means the company treats coding as a baseline filter rather than a tool to stump you. They want to see clean code, good communication, and proper edge-case handling without the stress of a complex puzzle.
The Deep Dive: Spending time on your projects and tech stack allows you to show ownership. Interviewers love to see why you chose a specific technology and how you handle technical trade-offs.
The Behavioral Weight: A full 30 minutes dedicated to behavioral questions means this team deeply cares about culture fit, communication, and how you collaborate under pressure.
