Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Bengaluru) en mar 2025
Entrevista
Technical Round
Duration: ~1 hour 10 minutes
Method: Video Interview via Amazon Chime
Focus: Problem-solving, logical reasoning, and DSA application
Key Questions:
A question that translated to detecting a loop in a linked list (approach + implementation)
A Tree + Dynamic Programming question requiring optimization under constraints
Obstacles:
The questions were not direct and needed careful interpretation from a descriptive paragraph.
Initially struggled with the first problem due to nervousness but managed to solve it after a hint in story format.
Faced difficulty in the second problem as I had not practiced much on trees and DP; required multiple hints.
Ended up with syntax errors and incomplete implementation due to time running out, but conveyed my final approach clearly.

The screening round was an online test for like 3 hours. It went well, and I was selected for that. But in the actual interview, I was initially asked about my projects and 2 DSA Questions. The first DSA question was a maximum subarray-based question, and the second question was a finding the shortest path in a graph-based question
The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles. The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them. In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
