Entrevista
Round 1:
Two questions on LP
The coding question was one of the top 50 amazon coding questions on leetcode and asked some follow-up questions on the coding question.
I was asking all questions all the time, the Interviewer was interactive and I can say he is definitely impressed.
Round 2:
Two questions on LP
The coding question was one of the top 50 amazon coding questions on leetcode. I didn’t understand the question at first as the question was a single line and vague that was presented by the interviewer and I asked a lot of clarifying questions that I wasn’t clarified until a pictorial form was depicted by the interviewer. It would have been easy for me if the interviewer started with a tree picture(Tree Problem). Anyway I was able to come up with an approach and coded right on time and there were no follow up questions, Interviewer just asked TC and ended the round by answering some of my questions.
Round 3:
Two questions on LP, Almost took around 30 mins as he was digging in-depth about the experience I had about that particular behavioral questions.
He presented me with a paint application by doing some operations and told me to design a paint application with those operations. I came up with some good ideas on how to approach and designed a class structure. But I didn’t give my best shot as I had to design in only 20 mins and brainstorming ideas took a significant amount of time. Anyway, that didn’t end in the way I expected and the interviewer ended by answering some of my questions.
Round 4:
Four questions on LP Almost took around 30 mins.
He presented me with a grid-like this
Audio Display Battery Power
Echo y n n y
Show y y n y
Bose y n y y
Fire tablet y y y Y
The interviewer told me to design a class structure for the above grid if we send in a voice command “Hey Alexa, What’s my battery status?”. I did okay in this round.

Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Cape Town) en ago 2025
Entrevista
Applied for the 2025 SDE Grad for the Cape Town region. First step was an online assessment with 2 timed Hackerrank questions of medium to hard difficulty. Next step upon clearing the online assessment was a Phone Interview. The phone interview consisted of Amazon Leadership principles behavioral questions about my past experience, this was followed by DSA and OOP theory questions, Java theory questions and Networking theory questions. In the last 10 minutes I was given a coding challenge Leetcode 20.Valid Parenthesis. I was invited to the final virtual loop after clearing the phone interview. The loop consisted of 3 rounds, 1)1hr Technical round(Problem solving and DSA) , I was given the Leetcode 2502.Design memory allocator and in my cases it was simply a word statement and didn't even mention anything about an array, so it was left to the candidate to figure out that the problem can be solved using arrays, an SDE3 took this round. 2)It was a leadership principles only interview with an SDM. 3)Last round was half technical and half behavioral. First part was behavioral questions only on the Amazon LPS and last part was an LLD (Logical and maintainable code round) on different types of databases, if you understand abstraction and the repository design pattern you'd know what the question wanted
