Question 1
2 Leetcode hard problems were assigned through hackerrank
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2025
Interview
Coding test, LEETCode questions was asked. DP, Merge-sort. Some SQL queries. There was a time crunch but mostly the standard expected questions expected of FAANG level interviews. I got 6/7 questions. Was unable to finish the last one.
OA Followed by Final Round 3 weeks down the line. I didn't do that well on the online assessment. Maybe 13/20 test cases. Thought I did pretty well on the final round but didn't prepare for behavioral questions well enough.
