I went through 3 rounds in total for the Amazon SDE internship:
1️⃣ Online Assessment – Round 1
Focused on Linux basics and CSE core subjects (OS, CN, DBMS, etc.).
Included 2 coding problems to test problem-solving and DSA knowledge.
2️⃣ Online Assessment – Round 2
Consisted of 2 coding problems of medium-to-hard difficulty.
Also tested knowledge of Amazon fundamentals (leadership principles, company values, and work culture).

A live DSA-focused round where I solved 2 coding problems in front of the interviewer.
The interviewer also assessed my approach, communication, and problem-solving skills.

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.
