I had 3 technical exercises in my interview: two LeetCode problems and one low-level design (LLD) question. Additionally, I was asked two behavioral questions: one about meeting a tight deadline and another about a time I helped someone.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you had to meet a tight deadline?
1st round was the cv screening round in which I got a mail that I was shortlisted for the coding and LRU round. After 1 month I got a call that I was further shortlisted for the F2F round(Interview Loop).

Question 1
In the interview they asked me about myself then the interviewer introduced himself and then we proceeded toward the dsa questions the first question was too hard for me. I could'nt understand how to initiate. He understood and moved forward for the second one. I solved the second one as it was a tree question(no of islands). Then he asked me about my projects and contributions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Chennai) in Jul 2025
Interview
After the OA and 1st round no response from the HR. Tried emailing the HR, recruitement team, but no response in return. Now, I don't even know about feedback for my 1st round of interview. But I know I did well. Even the interviewer, who was a SDE-3 seemed very uninterested with the interview. Didn't let me explain my solution, then rushed me with the dry run. (there was a shadow interviewer, SDE-2, who was nice and understood why my solution works.)
