I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Dec 2024
Interview
The interview process involved solving two coding problems.
The first was the 3Sum problem, followed by some follow-up questions to optimize the approach.
The second was related to cyclic linked lists, with additional follow-ups to test edge cases and variations.
The discussion was focused on problem-solving, optimization techniques, and handling edge scenarios.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One key thing they asked was to optimize the 3Sum solution and discuss different approaches, including two-pointer technique and hashing, along with their time complexities.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
the interview process was extremely time consuming and underwhelming. The interviewers were only interested in whether you answered the questions right not your problem solving skills. the interview process was extremely time consuming and underwhelming.

Question 1
Asked generic behavioural questions then 4 technical questions
My Amazon interview involved two rounds. The first was a technical phone screen focusing on data structures and algorithms. The second was a virtual on-site with behavioral questions (STAR method) and a system design interview. Preparation is key – LeetCode and Amazon's leadership principles are your best friends. Overall, it was challenging but a great learning experience.
